Default Re: Noobs and Vets II: Days of Infamy. MA, BI, Enlisting 14/17.

The Teams&Themes.pdf has been updated. Welcome back Bakemono Kunshu, Moloch, Great Mother, and Phoenix. Pretender choices look like they won't change whether the Usurpers decide to go with Mictlan or R'lyeh.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/attac...9&d=1272021300

Hmm, trying to come up with a suitable image replacement for the Illithid with Mictlan in representing the Usurpers astral/water/temporal/mental magic theme.

Any suggestions?

I'm getting with him.

These look interesting:

Well except that the only water pretender allowed for mictlan is a blue dragon. And I'm not willing to chamption a nation already saddled with one gimp.

Sept has only allowed the Usurpers 11 pretenders - of which half of them are *only* available to Rlyeh.

The rules were intended to restrict each nation to its themes. Which my proposal corresponds to. I don't believe that the combination of allowed pretenders and paths have been adequately considered for this team.

The team has no SC pretender, and as a whole has no thug/SC recruitables. On top of that a gimped Rlyeh...

Sorry.. pass.

I can't understand you, Chris. It has been decided that we have Mictlan instead of R'lyeh. So no R'lyeh. Mictlan can easily take a W9 or S9 bless which is not bad comparing to what others have. Bandar may also take a bless (even w9s9 IIRC) and their sacreds are good indeed with it. So, two potential blesses for team. On top of that two of four nations get elephants. Compare that to what other teams have. Yes, we get a PoD that can provide an early boost but later on our starting advantages are nullified. No chance for a bless, no to little summonable thugs\SC's before tartarians.
As for SC's, yes you don't have them but any of titan pretenders can be a wonderful dormant SC if given E and A. You get 4 decent to perfect nations that have wonderful SC\thug summons and all magic (except blood). And that is not exaggeration at all

However, I, of course, agree that Usurpers should be given more pretenders to choose from just because they indeed get too little currently .

Well, you're probably right ano. But I still think the pretender selection and path needs to be looked at. Everyone's jumped on the 'get rid of rlyeh' which is fine - but its still subject to the whims of the usurpers captain. Who may decide he wants rlyeh (beats me why).

Look at the pretender selection for the usurpers... they're not ALLOWED any titans.

Pretenders should definitely be reviewed, I hope, we can come to agreement with Septimius regarding that.
As for the captain, doesn't Squirreloid want to take this role? If not, I believe you have many contacts who are good players here.

How's that Nataraja as an SC, the one with the 4 weapons?

And the Son of the Sun?

Son of the Sun is a crap. Nataraja is decent.
Perhaps the Usurpers can be given something like a female titan like other teams are allowed one pretender with a cross-path.
