I really like how some of you like the idea of a new random spell for 3 mana more than a new dryad with access to three non-random spells which can be used simultaneously with other player's spells for 4 mana. Almost as much as I like how a certain someone wants to get a new spell despite not even having used all the spells he currently has yet.

I mean I was thinking of your work effort, more dryads means you have to focus on more character's, passive upgrades like Tier Upgrades will probably cause less headache, and it's also testing the waters with the options were given to us. Even so, having one of our dryads getting a tier upgrade is probably more powerful than a new dryads, because it amplifies the power into one character instead of spreading out. Which make sense with Beirus's dryad avatar because he's basically the primary defender for our tree.

You really have no idea how this works... Hikary can tame animals. Tamed animals! You could get an entire army out of that. Throwing a few bombs around is not going to get much better, and if it does then you just blow up your own tree... You don't look at what is good now when deciding what will be good when upgraded. If it is already good, then it doesn't need upgrading!

Speaking of blame, get your actions in everyone! I'm going to blame you inactive players for me not doing an update today!

I posted.

Anyway, my thought process for mana right now is that if we save it now, we can spend it in a burst to deal with whatever threat Supernerd sends if he thinks we are growing complacent. However, I also understand that people want to see mana used for stuff. If we wait one more turn, we would have 11 mana. Even doing a Tier increase immediately after that would leave us with 3 mana, 5 by the end of the turn, which I feel would be a suitable buffer in case of unforeseen circumstances that could require a Dryad Revival or Empowered Spells to defend the tree.

This is an understandable reason for not letting more players in.

Personally, I think it'd be better to spend Maja on tier upgrades ahead of time, rather than frantically using it for spells, just because the upgrades will be more useful in the long run, rather than just being a single use.

On the other hand, single use doesn't use a lot of mana.

On the gripping hand, random spells are exciting. You never know what you're going to get.

I must confess that if I had the opportunity I would be drowning in random spells...

But I feel that if the one that exceeds excessive technicality were to be overwhelmed by character additions, that the mechanic to bring forth such things would not have been published. I presume that Supernerd thinks that they can cope with two or three more dryads, at which point the mana costs for more will become prohibitive.

If someone else wants to deal with the small mite by the tree, I can go east and try to start making an irrigation ditch to the tree. If not, I'll deal with the mite.
