This is great, Lucid. My favorite is that Animate Tree. I've just started a game, and during expansion, those level 1 nature mages (which seem to be all over the place) cast it. Most of the time, it's just a little bush or something. Then, one time, they animated this _massive_ tree, resistant to our attacks, which had four attacks per turn of its own. It was really pretty funny! I was not expecting _that._ :)
@LucidTactics11 ай бұрын
yeah there are trees near the edge of the field a lot of time so if you place a mage over there, it can sometimes get a big one

@jamaro200611 ай бұрын
Considering the massive path and research requirements for that lightning spell I would not call it overpowered at all. It is in the same area as spells like firestorm but at an even higher research level, it should be that powerful

I know this video is only combat spells, but I'm boggled by Immaculate Fortress. 50% less damage PLUS the walls prevent ethereal beings from passing through AND the besieger can't see how damaged the walls are AND its permanent for 10 gems. I think a fort that has mages with Iron Walls + Immaculate Fortress is basically impossible to take without Mass Flight. And even then you're probably going to lose insane amounts of troops and commanders.
@Isvoor11 ай бұрын
There's an astral spell too that stops ethereal, for 10 pearls. Enchanted Walls. Increases wall integrity by 100. And permanent. Not as good as immaculate fortress (which probably needs a bump in gems), but still

I think my favorite part of the new spells and casts is so so so many effects have been moved around off of pretender chassis and special units allowing literally everybody to snag it with a bless or a spell or an item! It actually adds tons of depth to the combat, and seeing that army sizes have increased as well, dom 6 is gonna have some pretty intense battles!

Those rooting spells seem even more useful vs elves than ever before. Seems like thugs and sc will have a harder time too, more offscript threats to address. If it's just a snake ring you can make it. But if you need to resist multiple elements in addition to some random troop squares with sharpness, it's costing more and more.

Wow, Lightning Field looks pretty good! Definitely needs to be a Level 9 spell, and you have to actively research it now so that should balance it a bit.

One of the new Glamour spells really stands out to me for thugs. Dance of Ephemeral Swords, Evo 3, Glamour 2. Basically gives the caster 3 extra melee attacks (false damage) every turn. The Tuatha have thug chassis that have Glamour 2 without even needing to put extra effort in. The Vanir and Feminie have some Glamour 1 thug chassis just waiting for a boost to be able to cast Dance (like Twilight!).

Feels kinda weird that glamour counters itself? Since both the illusions and true sight is in glamour. Kinda feel like there should be some true sight in other paths as well (astral or nature maybe?)

That mass chain lightning looks a little bit overpowered. It probably should do -5 base damage. :) BTW, if that "mass berserk the trees" is ok, we could also have a battlefield wide maws of the earth.

Yeah with the singular research, counterability (little but of shock resist) and of course CRAZY high magic path requirement, it doesn't seem too strong. There can only be very few casters at a time that can cast this kind of spell. It seems relatively balanced, since you forego a lot, probably stronger spells to research it.

Its not like I can skip construction either. Help. Edit: Hm. Turns out they just went off-script due to perceived enemy weakness. Still annoying they default to this spell though.
