You thought that a loyal believer would pass the opportunity to defile an undefended infidel temple? Come on

I have a question, what are elder dwarfes, and if they are heroes why has vanheim 2 of them? I suspect worthy heroes of being responsible.

Yep, elder dwarf is multihero from Worthy Heroes. They have earth 4. I have 2 heroes myself with +3 luck - if Vanheim has luck scales it would be quite normal for him to have some heroes too

With Worthy Heroes mod, Luck scale is worth a little bit more than in normal game.

I sugested worthy heros then I took misfortune. Silly me.

Earth 4 + Boots means Earth 5 equals to a lot of bladewind. Means lots of arrows are raining down on my poor sacreds, means my sacreds die, means i loose battles, means sauromantia wants to attack me too, means a lot of archers to attack me, means more projectiles raining down on me, means more sacreds die, means im doomed.

*major whine*

And when i invaded Vanheim, i thought id be smart as they dont have any archers. (note to log: bladewind has the same effect as archers)

OK, i have now created an allpowerful pretender for Kailasa that will win the next EA game i'll join

projectiles ftw!
Not sure what I'd do if you had an A9 bless though.
Except shadow blast, but thats a helluva drain of gems

Worthy heros is weird.
I have got a commander of the living pillars... with Autosummon Living Pillar!
I'm playing turmoil 3 luck 3, and Commanders Of the LP are multiheros- worrysome.

BTW, did you know you could get E5 basalt kings? With earthpower and boots= E7?

The odds are painfully slim, but I can get a D5 Sauromancer.
Give them a skull staff and a whatchamacallit skull helmet (someone locked my manual away), and I've got a D7 Sauromancer. If I get even further lucky with twice born, then I'd get a D8 mage. Give them a Sceptre of Dark Regency, and I've got an undead mage with 10 death.

Needless to say, that's so rare I can't base a strategy on it. Besides, what in the world would I do with 10 death magic anyways? Well, I guess I would see how large Shadow Blast's AOE gets.

"The nation of Ctis is suffering a bout of cold weather. This has started a massive migration towards the warmest lands we can find."

Of all my scales, the only one that hasn't seemed to taken root anywhere is my heat. Conveniently enough, I started next to another warm nation who I can attack without worrying about winter rendering my troops impotent. (Coldblooded +1 fatigue in 0, +4 in in cold scale).

I just received a hero as well. She has seven points worth of magic, but they're scattered around somewhat inefficiently. She's powerful enough, but I can get D4 easily, can summon an N3S3 mage (eventually). She will become obsolete, but since I'm a long way from Couatl, she'll be quite nice, for research and forging, if noting else. I may be able to find some particular applications for her if I think about it, but her use isn't immediately obvious.

I really should update my AAR again. Its been over a dozen turns since I last put in an entry, and with the start of my invasion of Abysia, I'll have a lot to write about.

I've been taking luck in a lot of my games recently. I wasn't sure on it's effectiveness in an MP setting, and aside from the dwarven elders the effects haven't been so pronounced. I've got more than you've seen too, so I guess it's something to be pleased with. In SP where you usually have a lot more provinces it's great.

I was in 2 other MP games at the same time as this one and I don't think I won a single battle in both my downfalls. So actually winning one has made it all worth it. It's like shooting ridiculously over par in golf and then getting a birdie on the 18th.
