VOTD-Still like it

I agree. VoTD is tailor made to take down units who have killed too much in their lifetimes.

I believe it is a somewhat unthematic and buggy spell, but its current power level is correct. If it were to be changed I'd like to see it remain just as effective.

Yeah I agree with Sombre, its power it's correct, but still i don't swallow that those souls come for vengeance, are killed again, and act as multiplied. I mean, I killed you, you returned from death for vengeance, I slayed even your soul, now REST IN F*XING PEACE!

The thing that those are supposed to be the souls of enemies, and if yo kill the soul you have to face the soul of the enemy plus the soul of the soul, and then the soul of the soul of the soul... meh. ^^

Personally I think the battles from VotD should give normal exp, but the souls at least shouldn't count in the kill list. You may have to face them again but at least they don't multiply, should quite solve the most of the "buggy" aura around the spell.

My opinion of course. I know it is working as intended. But I find it kinda weird for the reasons I stated. And yet, if your thug killed 600 ("real") units, yes the vangeance of those angry souls will be terrible - as I agree nothing should be invincible (but some things should continue being very near of it, it's the fun of a so wide strategic game, combinations that make realultimatepowa

)

i actually agree you should not count the souls as kills. In my case it did not matter because the 600 original souls were too many anyway(:

The spell would still be effective without counting the souls as kills. But some things are hard to fix, and some things are more pressing to fix. At least that is what i have read.

When it comes to coding, i am still in 1st grade.

it would be very annoying against your pretender considering his magic paths though

Tifone · #5 July 29th, 2008, 06:46 PM

well it has a number of counters - i think even if you don't have the time or will to protect all your thugs, at least you must just consider to defend the pretender and the best SCs from this after some time. I think it's natural, we still protect our castles and provinces and soldiers all the time for many things, that's just one more

There is not much more you can do other than mr 27, unless you hide him behind domes, but then he is little value to you as a thug or sc. heh.

Unless you can cast Undead Mastery.
