Default Re: extending Epic Heroes to EA

Any powers that be know why revig does not work when i tried to give it to an epic hero. I ended up just lowering the enc to achieve a similar effect.

The Elephantarch, modeled on Hannibal, is known for his stamina and forced marches. So i was going to give him revig., but it did not function.

So i ended up giving him enc 0, which makes him brutal on that darn elephant(possibly overpowered). So he tramples to his heart's content, with no ench issues.

With his lowered prot though, it is risky to try and take a prov solo with him.

Even Beowulf, who i thought was a bit too tough, died rather quickly solo to a prov that had a few heavy calvary in it. Barbarian indies also seem to make short work of most of the melee heroes if they are solo.

Default Re: Edi\'s Basalt King

Hmm, far from being weak, this guy can melee with the best of them.

He has 60 hps, 16 prot, great str, att. He has a magic weapon. his def is average, but if you make him a prophet he is quite tough.

With water magic he can get quickness early, and with 3 earth he can benefit from alt spells that add to his prot. With a fire/earth magic combo, and a forge bonus, he could have a fire shield underwater.

And he does have fear. I tested him out of the gate as a prophet with a pretender that did not have 4 of any magic, and he took a province solo. he had 84 hps to start, and almost died, but he took it. So if he had a pretender with even 4 nature-look out.

Hmm, so he would be considered the melee/mage combo type? If so that works well considering most of the others are one or the other. I was mostly considering him as a stay back mage type and utility thereof. I rarely throw my high paths into melee.
