Default Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update

Regular Caelum used to be my third strongest nation in Dominion II, when
considering all nations and themes. MA Caelum in Dominion III is in the bottom
twenty five percent, as far as I am concerned. One cannot win just with mages
anymore, their recruitable troops suck as much as they used to, the high Seraphs
random magic has been limited, the tower/lab/temple combo costs a lot more,
relatively, other nations' PD has become more useful, thus raiding is harder.
And of course, Caelum has no effective answer to AW immune thugs/supercombatants.

Today, MA Caelum is a one trick pony. Mammoths. I do not play one trick ponies.

And now a nerf? Well, I can honestly say, a nerf will not change the probability
of me playing them one tiny little bit

Have you tried Grip of Winter with Caelum? It's been pretty effective with LA Atlantis, and I only have 50% CR.

What's AW anyways? Air and Water, you mean? Shock Resistant and Cold Resist, or something else?

I haven't played Caelum, but I can say that this is something I have exploited several times *against* Caelum. Slap a ring of tamed lightning on an ice devil or any of the undead thugs and its pretty much a silver bullet against them.

Interesting. I think I'll start a new tread on the matter.
