Yep, I'm totally aware of the f@#*ng worthless, old, crippled, high upkeep [censored] feeling. I still stand by my point, though it's not such a big deal either.

Posting the guide I suddenly remembered that I forgot to mention that their scout units stealth hasn't been improved yet, as most other scouts have been. I suppose you'll also want to give them the 'normal' scout stealth?

[Sombre]

Yeah I'll bost their stealth. Scouts have 10 now do they? Or 5?

I think I might boost the Augur upkeep even more, though not by much. I like the fact that getting a crummy one is even more painful.

Regarding the blackwing and companions, I do see what you mean. The blackwing are very fragile indeed and tend to get shredded by almost anything they fight, despite good stats. I think it's reasonable for me to improve their armour in some way. They also have the disadvantage of not having a recruitable flying commander, though that isn't particularly hard for Arga to rectify with summons or items. They're a niche unit for sure.

Sworn Companions are a different story. The reason their cost is so high is that they've been price-hiked several times. At their old price I'm pretty sure they were overpowered. The problem is they can do a huge amount of damage in very short order on the charge and more importantly, they have fear. This means if you get enough of them they can simply ride through huge armies, routing them after a turn or two of melee and killing a huge number as they try to run away. Now it's hard to mass Companions, that's for sure, but if you get around 10 of them they really can be nuts.

I think most scouts are at +10 stealth now. I think a few may be higher at +15 but I am not 100% sure.

[Amhazair]

Yeah, average scouts have 10.

I noticed the price hikes to sworn companions too. When I first saw them they were about 75g if I remember correctly. Which indeed was way to cheap for what they're capable of. If you're convinced they can't be made cheaper through previous testing that's fair enough. I still can't see myself using them, but then no one ever said everyone had to think the same about every unit in the game. Anyway, their biggest problem isn't their price, but the fact that if you want hard-hitting fear-causing cavalry demon knights are so easy to get.

I'm hard at work (well, sort of) at the next version of arga dis. Loads of tweaks and a couple of new blood summons.

Here's a look at the Urtyr, a corrupted fleshcloak wearing satyr with a limb lopping bronze sickle.

[HoneyBadger]

Looks great, as always, although the bronze sickle looks a little bit more like a shepherd's crook than perhaps you intend?
