Endgame Wish Strategy

177 slaves < 120 gems.

But you can wish a unique SC from another player. I think that is what Ironhawk did to Cleveland's Lord of Banefires in one MP game I was in. Still waiting for confirmation from the secretive Ironhawk though...

That seems to be a pretty good use of a wish assuming you can subdue (enslave/charm) the SC as you not only get an SC, but cause your enemy to lose one, plus you get all the gear.

Yeah that was me. I dont have any qualms with releasing that info now that the game was over. You can wish for any unique SC in play and it will be transported to the casters location. This is HUGELY powerful weapon when you reach the endgame where a player might spend 40gems on gear and 30gems on an SC chasis (or more!). Not only do you deny them that huge investment, but if you are ready, you can charm/enslave the SC yourself making back the majority of the cost of the Wish.

Big Caveat:
There is a bug where the transportation that the Wish does is effected by domes. So if your Wish caster is covered by a dome, which is pretty much assured in the late game, then the SC will "bounce" away to another province. Really irritating.

I do not see grigori as powerful as seraph.

I remember reading on the multiplay forums about an entrenched LA Ryleh player wishing for Armegedon over and over again. I think it took all of the other players ganging up to stop her. But by the time she was done almost all population was gone.

How did she protect her wish-caster?

I dunno. I was'nt in the game. But the thread is great reading. The other players had some serious hatred built up for the r'leh player. It was one of the games started by Zacharai.

Here is that Armageddon game:

THAT IS INCREDIBLY COOL

Somehow, it fits R'lyeh's theme to have the world ravaged by natural disasters as the ancient god awakes from it´s aeon´s old prison, in an revelrie of destruction and freedom...

Don:

I think that it just moves that unique unit where wish caster is and there is a fight.
