Will there be no restrictions on scripting mind-control spells? Those sort of made everything but MR and penetration irrelevant last time.
Yeah you can do mind control etc. too since then you might have good chances to win trial 1 but probably bad chances to win trial 2 vs. troops/mages and SCs. After every round everything is restored, so you don't take over your mind enslaved enemies and get stronger each battle.

Send me your SC as a PM .
16 combatatants is maybe a bit too much, so far i only recieved 3.
So i will Aim for 8 combatatants now and maybe replenish the other 8 myself by using some cheaper SCs like banelords.

As soon as i have recieved all SCs i will publish them here with scripting + gear and then ppl can start betting .

Just include scripting + equipment + other important orders in your PM PDF

I might wonder about that, actually. Hm --

Tartarian Titan (male), base 3/2/2 all astral, +10 more astral = 17 astral. Have Rune Smasher in one hand, Ring of Wizardry (or maybe the Green Eye), Robe of the Archmage, Spell Focus, Starshine Skullcap in head, possibly Crystal Shield (if it'd help). Should bring Astral to something like 21 (with shield), with +5 additional penetration from items. Even Master Enslave won't be very easily resisted, no? Could drop the Skullcap and use Amon Hotep for protection.

+10 magic levels is pretty insane...

There is n absolute limit on how many paths of magic you can start with, and how far Wish can take you. If we were abiding by those limits, a Tartarian would be forced to diversify into other schools of magic.

Still, with all the Astral lying around, I could see a perfectly good commander walking in with a Banner and boots of quickness only to have a Magic Duel scripted for the first turn...

Oh, and my SC is in. I'm trying something a little bit off the beaten path I hope.

You canīt get more than 10 base in a given path. Adding boosters would raise maximum possible astral to 16(17 with crystal shield, not sure if it works). that would require a hag pretender, starshine cap, forbidden light, ring of wizardry, ring of sorcery and crystal coin.

edit: well donīt regard the above. you can still empower after you have level 10. you can even get more than 20 base that way.

19 seems to be the limit, but boosters can still increase it.
At least i tried the map modding commands and 19 was the maximum path you could give your commanders with the modding commands.

Only 4 people have sent an SC so far.
With 4 SCs it is not a real competition though.
So please send your SCs, guys
