Good thought, silhouette. At least I think. Though it has few to have with this particular version of Elephantes Guide.

the problem arises when the entire thread starts is a joke, yet some people actually take it seriously... now stop necromancing this old and useless thread, please, please, please... :P

13lackGu4rd - I think you've confused yourself quite badly here. You probably meant to post in this thread, but you've accidentally posted in the middle of a valid, cereal and highly relevant discussion.

no, I'm pretty sure I got the right thread... here is the key line: "MUAHAHA! ELEPHANTS THE SECRET REVEALED!!! "

now, please don't tell me you actually consider this so called "guide" as *serious*... yeah, now random people are talking about random stuff regarding Arco(in general, not even MA specific) but this whole thread started as a joke and people actually took it seriously...

P.S if I'm wrong and you were in fact writing this as a serious guide GamerExtremist than I apologize to you, and you alone, as you were the original writer of this so called "guide".

Elephants can be effective under the right circumstances but you must remember their weaknesses. But if you're using them against illithids you will lose.

These are the mysteries of the forums.
Why should be bad to use an older post??
Whats different from a brand new one?
They are only text data on a file. It doesnt shine or anything like that for being new.

That aside. MA Arco is ridicously powerful.
180 g for a S3 mage?? cmon

It's funny, there was a time when there were a lot of complaints about elephants being OP ... and then the complaints faded away. I wonder if it tracked with the rise of CBM in MP (when D3 was released most games were not CBM) and it making counters available at an earlier stage in the game or if people just came up with other solutions.

Here's another one. But in this case something was done about the complaints and the days when nations trembled before F9W9 Vans were over.

Blackguard, every one writes guides as he sees fit. Look at KissBlade's ones. And 3 years back strengths of Arcoscephales were not so apparent for everyone, especially novice players.

sure, but if you(or anybody else for that matter) actually thinks this is a serious post than you really need to fix(or upgrade or whatever) your sarcasm detector...

lol...wow this must have been one of my first posts.

Well yes It was meant to be a light-hearted guide/discussion on Arco and one particular strategy that worked great for me in a few games, but I do believe the balance mod may have affected it.

I was only learning the game at the time and didn't know much about magic/communions/endgame...massing a ton of creatures that trampled seemed like a good enough strategy at the time. ; )
