View Poll Results: How do you use gems in general ?
|
|
Only for globals or other endgame things, if my mages are not yet able to cast them I tend to have big stocks of all gems types

|
I usually make stocks for some gem types as my strategies often use endgame globals (or wishes)

I mostly use gems for forge and summons, but use them a lot since midgame
|

I mostly use gems to have an advantage in big battles, having well provisioned mages on the battlefield is my first priority

Gems I've not used for forge or summons this turn are given to boost my battlefield mages, I rarely have stocks
|
  
|
6 |
8.57% |
|
My priority is to build a magical economy (clams, fetishes, hammers, low level gem producing globals) I use gems for other matters only once my production is huge

|
I alchemize or trade most of the gems my national mages can't use, so in 2 or 3 colors I can have stocks and use a lot of gems at the same time

I don't really have a tendancy like all things it's nation dependent

Re: The big gems poll
What do you mean by the level of dispeller? There is nothing like that in manual or description of Dispel. It just says that if someone spends like 50 additional gems for a global you need to put also 50 over base cost for Dispel.

Re: The big gems poll
Each level over the base required for casting counts as 5 additional gems, for both the globals and Dispel.

Re: The big gems poll
Manual p.88
One level above the required = 5 gems for dispell/overwrite mechanics.
So a level 9 astral caster dispells for base cost like if he added 30 gems.

Re: The big gems poll
Oh, they should put it into spell description. They should really upgrade many descriptions. I did not take that big manual with me to China, heh.
So you should put as many astral boosters as possible when casting Dispel?

I've read somewhere that only natural levels count for dispells (but it isn't said in the manual). So I'm not sure. |

Re: The big gems poll
That's an issue that needs to be cleared. If only natural levels count then will a N4 crone buffed to N5 suffer a penalty when her Gift of Health is being dispelled?

Re: The big gems poll
So you also get some bonus for casting global with higher level?

Re: The big gems poll
It's stated in manual
Quote:
Dispel mechanics
Whenever Dispel is cast or a global tries to replace another for whatever reason, the two spells are compared. The total number of extra gems and the levels of the casters above their spells' requirements are compared according to the following formula:
+1 for each extra gem (above the requirement for casting)
+5 for each level of skill by the casting mage in the spell's path above the casting requirement
a DRN (single open-ended die) is added to each side. The side with the higher number wins.
