Default Re: Poll: How much will the new bless effects affect your pretender design?

>I see the new blessing system as simiar to the old one, perhaps slighty weaker, but with more variety and adding a bias for pretender magic.

My fear is that it will be more than slightly weaker.

What about players who do not invest heavily in pretender magic? That renders any sacred troops much less useful. In Dom I, all nations had some ability to field serious sacred troops. In Dom II players will find their sacred troops to be junky unless they set up their nation specifically to take advantage of them. I'm not sure I like that new paradigm.


>I'm not sure what standard "worthwhile" you're using.

Competitive with other uses of nation points.


>Worthwhile as in sacred troops will be less used then before?

In multiplayer, it's almost certain that we will see less serious use of sacred troops.

[unless of course my suspisions are totally wrong]


>As in level 9 magic is just too expensive?

It generally is.


>As in making a magic path come out even is too expensive?

I have no idea what this means.
