Eventide - Random Nations, Late Era (Calmon Wins!)

Note that casting dispel with a higher than 3 astral mage is more effective than with just an astral 3.

Yeah...

Success if following is > 0: (your gems + drn + 5*astral level-3) - (their gems + drn + 5*magic level-cost)

I suppose that the "3" should be a "30" (spell cost for Dispel) and that translates to 5 gems per astral level.

I can offer astral 9/10, but I'd have to research the spell myself, too. Takes me two turns.

Before everyone sends me all their astral gems let me double check that I have the spell this afternoon. I think I do, but I'm in two other games ....

Manuk has a point. My Astral caster is 6... anyone have anything higher?

PS If I don't have it and I receive them for some reason I'll give them back or forward them to someone who does.

So basically you would be able to cast it with a 15 gem credit (of sorts) compared to me. If I don't have it you sound like the best bet.

Well, if it's only a difference of 15 gems then that's not that big of a difference. The question is, who can cast it now?

[Velusion]

I have Dispel, so unless there is someone with a higher than 6 astral mage that knows the spell send the pearls to me ASAP - I'll refund any we don't use proportionally based on amount donated. I've committed to at least using 30 of my own.

I'm not exactly sure how much to use when casting the spell though. Anyone have any ideas how much he could have sunk into the spell? Obviously we want it to work, but horrifically overspending doesn't help us much either. This assumes I get ALOT of pearls though...

EDIT: PS - do astral boosters help in casting the spell? IE If I get an astral booster would that equal another astral level?

[Baalz]

I believe boosters help, but I'm not sure. Dispel costs 30, while arcane nexus costs 150 so it may be worthwhile casting the dispel with just a few over 30...if that fails we throw everything we've got at it. Unfortunately, I think we need to be prepared for it to go back up not long after we dispel it, so it would not be a bad idea to keep some pearls in reserve if we can.


Also, everyone please try to hold off on any non astral/blood castings/forgings for a turn or two...everything you do right now is going to go right back into the next arcane nexus assuming we can even get this one down.

Anything, maybe even twice the gem cost, look at his gem income and the fact that he had the Forge of the ancients up all this time.

I can send you a Starshine Skullcap.

[Hadrian_II]

As arcane nexus forces the other players to dispel it, i think there are at least 300 pearls (or more) in it. My arcane income is really bad, i cant offer pearls on my own.

Well, as Calmon so eloquently put it, he has declared war on every nation in this world. So we'd like to request from the other nations that they don't use any non-astral/blood gems for forging or casting spells while the Astral Nexus is up, and for a donation of Astral gems. Marignon is a nice touristic area for this season, too, make sure to check for plans for your journey abroad. Just drop us a message in any case.
