Epic Heroes Mod MA game(finished)

[Xietor]

Lolo-great game. Sorry I missed your post for a 6 hour delay as it certainly would have been granted. We had 72 hours for this turn rather than the typical 48, but I certainly would have delayed it another 24 for you. You have been a stellar player the entire game. As an aside, Pythium did not stale.

You did extremely well with Agartha-making it into the endgame with a race that is extremely vulnerable early in the game. The Epic Hero for Agartha is not as potent a fighter as many of the other races. If I had a free hand I likely would boost him-perhaps starting him at 3d? That would allow him to get to 4d with no empowering(skull staff). Since Agartha is weak early, maybe the Obsidian medium could be given a unique weapon as well?

Do you have any specific suggestions for the Epic Hero? Did you get any Worthy Heroes? Did you encounter any other race's Epic Hero to a degree sufficient to have a comment on him?


I have great respect for you as a player and your umbrals. To be honest, after Dr. P frozen hearted my Epic Hero to death, my main goal is to get this game over expeditiously and tweak the heroes. Then there will be an Epic Heroes II game before the final release of the mod.

It appears the Epic Heroes are a force early, but are just one of many thugs by midgame. Having an epic hero with a thug chassis allows some races to imprison that otherwise would never dare to imprison a pretender.

Thank you for playing Lolomo. And good luck to you in your other MP games.

Yup, I went with an awake wyrm to defend against early attacks. I only encountered Arco's Grand Elepantarch and its troop of war elephants, and he is very very tough to take out. Without umbrals it would be impossible I think.

To go with the theme of the other Epic Heroes, Agartha's obsidian statue should be able to function as a thug at the start, which he currently can't. He also can not summon any units, unlike most of the other epic heroes.

The Obsidian Medium wasn't designed to be a thug at all: 0 leadership, move of 3/6, precision of 5, attack only of 10, and never heals.

He does have Fear though, perhaps adding Awe and higher Fear levels would toughen him up without changing the theme of this unit. A stronger unique weapon would certainly help.

Or you can go the other way, and make him able to summon ghostly researchers. These are the ghosts of ancient agarthans ages past, reawakened to tell their story.

I managed to get branch through my windshield, and to tie it with a ribbon, my house is in mandatory evacuation zone. I'm staying at Tuidjy's place, and I could play - our plant's closed too. But I made mess out of Pythium, and feel unready for this game. So if Lolomo gives up, so I would.

My bet's Tuidjy wouldn't want to play, but he may change.

Nik-where on Earth do you live? Why are you in an evacuation zone? I am the one that lives in New Orleans-the King of evacuation zones.

San Diego County. I moved one week ago, and now it's in danger of burning. Although they say looks better today for particular area.

Who said California has no seasons?
Fire Flood Earthquakes... and I forget the fourth.

Hippies. The seasons in California are Fire, Flood, Earthquake and Hippies.

Piece of advice - if you're on a stretch of sandy cliffs (like, say, the ones near UCSD) and you strike up a conversation about someone with a beard and no shirt about the coastal access law, do not then ask them for directions back to street level, because the directions they give you will put you through as much private property as they can manage .

I am flying to NY tomorrow(Friday) morning and will not be taking my laptop with me. So I will be out of pocket until Sunday evening. If a situation arises where you need a delay of 24 hours, your only recourse is to email Llamabeast and ask him to delay host.

I have a bench pass and will be on the Rutgers' sidelines as they host WVU this Saturday.
