Death Match Questions

Pfft, you and your boxes. The reason one could not teleport into the deathmatch is because no one knows where it is.

Or maybe it's unknown and nonexistent...

In a game with 10 ennemies:

If you send in a champion:
a)Either 10 ennemy comanders die and your commander lives or
b)Your commander dies and 9 ennemy commanders die

If you do not send in a champion:
9 ennemy commanders die and your commander lives

Hence, if you are not too keen on the trident, sending somebody in does not seem to be such an attractive option. At best, you will kill one more commander, but for that, you have to win all the fights. In all other cases, your commander dies and the number of killed enemy commanders is just the same as if you would not have sent anybody in.

For me, this is an argument for making the trident more powerful. In addition to melee bonuses it should have some valuable magic abilities.

Jowe. the trident already has a strong magical ability, quickness, it just doesn't read in the description.

It's VERY good for some early combat mage pretenders, like a Phoenix with very high magic levels. Also, the phoenix can very easily avoid the pain of being in every DM after that, simply by getting killed in his own dominion. And even on top of that, Phoenix with 9 fire and 6 air (or something) doesn't really care all THAT much of getting killed outside his own dominion once.

Just FYI : in the current pbem I'm in, there are 11 human players and 4 AIs.
On turn 5 a DM was held : not *one* human player did send anyone, the fight was between the 4 AIs commanders ...

...and very low "finger levels".

(Hmmm, I guess he could wield that trident in his beak, if that didn't prevent him to use his pyrotechnic magic).

Like we're going to waste an early commander to fight one of the Ermor Wraith Lords...

(and I believe one of the AIs had enough sense to keep out of it, but I may be wrong)
