Was the restriction on normals casting global's lifted or something? Thought that was pretty much their only restriction? Doesn't matter much to me that its up, just want to know if I'm unaware of a rule change, or perhaps I misinterpreted to begin with?

I'm not aware that that restriction was ever lifted. Oceania should probably kill off the caster of the Wild Hunt, since it was cast against the rules of the game. Or, Oceania should be disqualified.

Meh, was probably just an accident. Not like wildhunt is a game-changer far as I know--disqualification is probably a bit harsh. Killing the caster seems more than reasonable.

I was really just interested if it was lifted, as I'd revise my strategy somewhat.

wow, completely my bad. With all the other rules talk the restrictions on us 'normals' casting globals completely slipped my mind. I'll try to get him killed off somehow. I'm sure Marignon or someone will be glad to oblige.

Totally understandable, kianduatha. The rules to this game are quite mind boggling. Just kill the caster off.

had this not been brought up again in the thread i was planning to start aiming for a global myself :-/

so don't feel bad and... dangit back to the drawing board on my plans!

Yeah, killing the caster off is a fine solution. Disqualification would be a little overkill for just casting one global. It's a good argument to looking into modding out globals for the normals in the next game though.

namad · #8 December 14th, 2009, 08:24 AM

all globals could be modded to be national spells for all nations that are chosen to be overlords? or would that be too much work? or would it mostly just be copy/paste?

also is there anyway to specifically know which mage cast a global? like if you see that mage in battle does he get an icon on him or something? i forget... or i never knew

IIRC, to make normals unable to cast globals and overlords able to, I'd have to disable the normal globals, and make some copies of them for the overlords to use and give those to them as national spells. However I think you can only give the same national spell to 3 nations, so if there were more overlords I'd have to make two different versions of the copied spell to use.

There's a green pentagram or something that shows up on a mage that has cast a global.

since no one wants to trade for my astral gems.... does anyone want to sell or rent a province to me that allows recruitment of astral mages? pm me or find me on irc to haggle

also anyone wanna give me a bulk discount rate on antimagic amulets? like 4s each if i buy a large enough amount?
