Re: The Seven Year War of Ascencion, AAR from Celebrities from Ermor's POV
Finally an update is upcoming! I had to fill the "holes" in my notes as I have detailed notes taken on the spot starting from turn 40, but not so much before.
Valerius: Re. Oracles, my pretender was an Oracle-like also actually, as it was a Sphinx. No ability to join battles by teleporting, but diversity to Earth magic. The main rationale being that Cyclops, used as Earth mages, would make undead hordes competitive longer by granting them "Army of..." battle enchantments. A side bonus being the accessibility of crystal items.
Re. minotaurs, in theory they are not so bad against Shadow Vestals I think, considering the limited number I can produce. Our battles don't really let us see because they were mainly fighting against longdead cavalry, and here they are clearly uncompetitive. But we'll see your other battlefield weapon in this update...
Squirrelloid: nice to have you on board. Thanks for the constructive feedback, it is good to know what my customers want... I have updated the forthcoming notes to integrate more maps and wider snapshots from the battlefields. However I will not follow up the suggestion of drawing arrows on battlefield views. D3 re just too chaotic, each of them having a wide diversity of troops, items, spells interacting with each other, it is already difficult to summarize them in a few lines. A good solution, mind you, would be to use a soft like Fraps to capture a vidop, upload on youtube and embed it in the AAR. Maybe one day...
Larz and LDiCaesar: thanks. I always felt there should be more D3 AARs as the game is quite spectacular and, somehow, narrative; plus it is a good way to discuss tactics and strategies with concrete situations. Now rather than ranting, I just did it... and I hope others will join, I'd love to read some others' AARs.
