Mod: Conceptual Balance 1.3, updated documentation

[Xietor]

Well i can make sure you start out next to me!

Also, I am giving POSITIVE feedback on the pretender point redistribution idea. I think the idea of making the Titans more appealing is a strong one.

My one minor criticism concerns the ML, and I only voiced it because I am very familiar with that pretender.

Though not many of the players responded to the poll here is a random sampling of pretenders players took in Kingmaker

Yeah, I saw that poll, perhaps would have been better to make it instead, what was the chassis of the last pretender you entered in MP.

Ooh ooh, new CB mod! I am very excited to take a look at this.

Also, silly as it may seem, the changed magic scale was my number 1 reason for not wanting to play CB (you must get so frustrated by all the little issues people get hung up on). Anyway, I just wanted to say I'm super happy you changed it back. If I have time I will definitely have a go at a CB game soonish.

I also really like the Master Lich by the way, having won with him a couple of times. But 25 points isn't a big deal I think.

In Kingmaker I have a lich, playing LA Arcos, 5d 3e 3a. Lich, not a ML. One of my neighbors has a cyclops(japezzi), One has
an E9N4 manticore(EA Abysia), And 1 has a ML with death and Astral magic(ma Tien Chi).

Atul is my neighbor as well with Bandar Log, but I have not seen his pretender. Likely an immobile pretender with a heavy bless.

From last turn(26):



Free scouting report for enemies! Good luck stopping him!

Is this the right thread for this? CB does not even touch the normal lich.

[Xietor]

you asked what pretender i took? I was just answering your question. shrug. I aim to please.

[quantum_mechani]

Ah, I was just asking in terms of polling data, not particular people.

The war-profiteers of Arcoscephale are advised to brush up on their statistics.

54/62 nations = 88% response rate, and the poll was even created after several nations went AI. 2 Master Lichs were chosen (2/54 = 3.7%).

Great work, QM, as always. Perhaps we can change the topic to Carrion Woods?

I've now survived to turn 69 in a very long CBM 1.21 game as LA Pangaea. I put Carrion Woods up on ~turn 15 and have had it up continuously ever since (save a 1-turn dispel incident).

Of course I've loved it, but objectively it seems a bit disruptive...a Level-0 Nature-gem-generating Nature spell. Plus badass freespawn.

Anyone else care to chime in? Zeldor?

[DonCorazon]

I'd be curious to know what everyone's gem incomes now are all-in in Alexandria. We should jot it down and reveal once the game is over. Anwyay, I didn't know Carrion Woods gave you N gems as well but it hasn't seemed overbalancing, though I didn't fight you early on. And when we did clash, I had undead mastery which helped take the fear out of the manikin horde.

I really have no idea how LA Pan plays - isn't your population dying off and your gold income and thus ability to buy mages hurt by carrion woods?

[DonCorazon]

Btw thanks QM - I love CBM!
