Wishing for snatch?

[Ygorl]

Nope. Pretenders can only be wished for by their monster type (e.g. Vampire Queen) and you just get a base, no-frills version as a troop. Even with something like a Wyrm, that's pretty badass without more than the starting level of magic, it's an expensive way to get a fighter.

Whats the wording for a wish like that?

[Taqwus]

Wish for the exact base unit type, ex. 'King of Deeper Earth' or 'King of Banefires'.

Heh -- the Wish(er) could also have wished that Aegis or Magebane out of the King's hands, first. Doesn't work too well for cursed gear, 'tho, unless the Wish(er) doesn't have the appropriate slot.

I would like to say that this thread is misleading. Wishing for snatch has nothing to do with super combatants.

exactly where my mind was when i first read the topic.

Wish + clams = unbalanced game.

When an astral race gets to the point that their clam income allows them a wish per turn, it really makes the game not fun to play against them.

Basically either forces you to have a tedious clam income or concede defeat.
