Slightly flawed example, Bracers of Protection do stack.

Re: Silly Noob Question regarding Lightless Lanterns
lch, is that for protection and defence or just the protection part?
Man, I used to think I understood which items stacked...

Re: Silly Noob Question regarding Lightless Lanterns
On T'ien Ch'i I have played both LA and EA in MP and did very well in both.
It took 3 combined nations La C'tis/Ulm/Pan to stop La T'ien Ch'i with a W9 bless on there Ancestor Vessels, who formed the invincible army up until the midgame that is, took out over a dozen enemy armies many 2-3 times there size. Ancestor Vessels really kick ***.
Ea T'ien Ch'i was 2nd only in power to Niefelheim up until the game got abandoned turn 50 or so (host got new job), was very disappointing, as I fancied my nation to win or go close. There sacreds are good, with 50%? elemental resistance to every? element.
Its a middle ---> decent strength nation overall. Huge magical diversity gives it an edge.

Re: Silly Noob Question regarding Lightless Lanterns
The 3+ slot bug was fixed due to its abusability. The reason why two bottles of living water and two bracers of protection stack is that they are tied into different mechanics than most items.
The bracers give armor protection, which has no limitations, and when blessed with E9, the blessing is applied to all armor (and since it's misc prot, it doubles).
The bottles of living water on the other hand each cast a onebattlespell, in this case summoning a water elemental and that only comes into play in combat. If you equipped a unit with two scutata volturnus shields, they would probably both cast shocking grasp, or if you put two spirit helmets on an ettin, you'd get two lightning bolt casters. Though those have not been tested.

That's interesting - thanks. Adon + 3 bracers FTW, then.

Yes, that's a potential exploit for Ashdod. But surely Ashdod need all the tricks they can get since they are so under-powered
