Noob question #476 Sea Trolls

Hector, tamer of horses · #1 September 14th, 2009, 12:48 PM

I have summoned a Sea king and his Troll court. It says that the Troll King can enable units with him to breathe underwater. How many? I put a Crown of Command on him hoping that he could enable a big pile of units to go with him underwater. But it keeps dumping them and indicating that only a portion of the units can go. Far less than the command limit.

What am I missing?

It's only a few. I don't remember exactly. However many are left after he dumps them.

10-15??

Offhand, I also don't recall the actual limit, but for future reference remember that the ability to bring people underwater is separate from command limit.

Thanks Guys

It does look as if the limit is 10 or so. Dashed be to my grandoise plans for underwater invasion.

On a similar note, I do believe water breathing is based on Size, not strict numbers.

Get enough sea trolls, you get a decent sea invasion anyway.

There's a goblet thingee that you can forge for him (or that he can forge) that will allow any commander to bring 50 human-sized troops underwater with him, or 25 giant-sized. (Minus one for the commander, though)

Undead work, too, though at a disadvantage (Poor Amphibians). Soulless in particular end up with Attack/Defense/Etc. in the 2-4 range. Spectrals work well if you're LA Ermor.

Use the sea-troll to craft a Sea Goblet, next turn equip it, and you can bring a nice number of units under the waves (plus the trolls who were summoned along with the king).

Thanks guys

The undead thing hasn't worked well thus far. Probably because the defenders are pretty good amphibians and there are lots of them.

I have made a bunch of Goblets and Barrels of Air and this tends to beef up my numbers.

As for generating more Sea Trolls, my big problem currently is lack of water gems. I am not ready to alchemize the numbers of other gems that I need.

But thanks for all of your suggestions.

Is this a great game or what?
