Played this game too much and burnt out my desire to play it a long time ago.

In MP or SP?

For the first time ever, I have finally understood what the water magic path icon is supposed to look like... I always thought it was a funky looking wave before.  Now I see that it's a tiny little goblet pouring out water.

My solution to "keep it fresh" has been to get involved in modding and thus mostly play to test out whatever new abomination the mod project I work on is spewing out. The reduced-sized doses helps... as does the randomness coming from almost entirely playing NationGen games...

You just changed my life.

Nah. Your desire will regrow in time, or not. Just hang around somewhere that games start and people talk about such things a lot, and you'll probably get bit by the 2h bug again.

I tried out LA Pangea and was wondering - they have Iron crossbows and easy access to iron bane - does iron bane even bother the iron crossbows or reduce the stats at all?

[Kagus]

Might be, dunno. I thought Iron Bane only affected armor.

Easiest way to check would be to set up a little test game and have a pretender or water mage bring some of them into an underwater province.

Besides sometimes turning you into trolls, yetis, and giants, Transform can also net you new magic paths from time to time. The reason a lot of people like the idea of it is that it eliminates upkeep in most (but not all) cases. It's best if you have a way to fix Feebleminding, though.

You can FIX feebleminding?

[Kagus]

Yeah, it's treated as a wound just like any other.  So immortal/recuperating creatures will shrug it off naturally after a while, and healers can clean it off as well.  Other than that, there's The Chalice artifact, and I think there's a global that lets everyone recuperate over time.

Feebleminding is, however, the one major weakness with the Blood Feast spell, or whatever it's called... It's a bit tricky to cast a wound-removing ritual when all your magic paths have disappeared.

You know what I HATE more then anything in this game? When my mages don't follow their scripts. I told you guys to use Ground Army, Mass Regeneration, and Army of Lead FOR A GODDAMN REASON. Ignoring my commands is irritating enough. Ignoring my commands AND THEN WASTING ALL YOUR GEMS ON THINGS I DIDN'T TELL YOU TO USE is un-fucking-forgivable.

This just happened on one of those fucked "Monolith and shitton of Watchers" thrones (i.e. the worst one by far)
While I still ended up winning, I woulda had a LOT less casualties if they had just done what I goddamn told them to.

Also, how would you guys rank the level 3 thrones independents?
Mine has the above as the literal worst thing ever, followed by the one with the Great Mother+infinity vinemen, then the Annunaki of the Sky with the shitton of eagles who promptly get turned mistform (though this one CAN get worse then the Great Mother one in certain situations), and with the Annunaki of the Underworld as shit tier scrubs by comparison.
I THINK that's all of them, right?

This always happens as a result of giving mages a script they can't actually complete, usually from fatigue costs. For example, Ground Army requires earth 4 to cast, but it causes 200 fatigue so an E4 mage needs another two gems to actually cast it.

Gift of Health fixed some of my feebelminded foulspawn transformation mages late game in the last MP game, so keep your "failures" around.

I think it may also happen if the battle AI decides the enemies are not threatening enough to waste your precious gems on, and ignore scripting.

[E. Albright]

Well, yeah, but then it wouldn't be wasting gems on other stuff (which, as a sidenote to BFEL, can be avoided via the "conservative gem usage" flag).

From my POV, the worst L3 throne is icarids and spring hawks.
