Jim, had you read what I wrote next, you'd know that I've won that war.
But I still cant find ANY reason why there should be a bugged lvl4 fire-and-forget spell that is impossible to defend from.

IMHO? Because this is a game of tactics and counters, sometimes some tactic is somewhat unbalanced, sometimes the counter, if your enemies does a good use of those, you are outplayed, period.

And I assure you I love SCs, which other game gives you the flavour of having a giant undead bat****crazy god bashing my enemies??

Still, as it has mainly as target the SCs, as it will be used on them and it can't be delayed with "chaff commanders", maybe it could be a little more costly, or at lvl 5 or 6, but those r just ideas. The spell is good and nice and works as intended, i am pretty sure about it

So, you're saying that whoever casts VotD is automatically outplaying his adversary? 'Become skilled in three easy castings!' Cool, isnt it.

VotD is mainly targeting SCs because it is BUGGED. Otherwise it would be a battle mage and/or smiting prophet removal spell, and a good one. As it was initially intented, I bet.

If he can spare 150 astral pearls and 50 mage turns on VotD and still be at least even with you in other aspects, I see no reason why he should not outplay you, with VotD or not.

You are becoming quite belligerant, mmh? Where did you find those words in my post? XD
How can possibly be ONE spell outplaying a player? Even you know this is not true. Because you won also ^^

It just is, if you are focusing on SCs, and your enemy is focusing ON THE EXACT COUNTER OF THEM, you are outplayed, if you don't change your strategy accordingly to make him waste his efforts to find a counter. That's basical strategy, maths, and logic ^^ And for a strange case, that's also how the game works. Boing.

Even if that was true... You see? This game is so wide and has a so creative and smart community that they found a better use for an otherwise maybe mediocre spell! This is strategy!

Peace

And if he spends so much on VotD that he lags behind you in other aspects, you can certainly outplay him. It is about the basic strategy -- resource allocation.

Tifone · #7 July 31st, 2008, 05:38 AM

Resource allocation is more basic economics, but you got the point my friend

Take note I don't have anithing against you, Kuritza. Even I, as I said, think that the spell needs a little fixing, mostly for the conceptual thing of the multiplied souls ^^
I'm just saying, it seems to me that you are just attacking how the spell works because some1 made a good use of it against your strategy

things like that happen, let the past go
