The Heroes Round Table

Resistance helps greatly against mass curses. 15% means 1 in 7 creatures plus any other res arties you'll have. By the time you get to lvl 25 you'll certainly have one or two morale arties. And generally mass haste IS superior but I want to make sure I'll get as good a beating in the first attack. ...

Necro->kinda... Academy->No comment Dungeon->mage guild if nothing else Sylvan->must inferno->heh, it's badly needed Only necro, haven and fortress(for now) don't really need it. I generally care much about what I'll built in week 2 and resources are a safer bet than an artifact. I like depending o...

You are exaggerating. Only the necklace of the bloody claw can be gamebreaking and if there weren't more powerful arties in why would anyone bother to choose it? Btw does anyone? ;| I never said they were all good. I said 2 were good, too good, game breaking good. The point of my post was that it I...

The whole point of my post is that "minor" artifact encompasses a spectrum so broad that games are won or lost by it.

Oh yes. What you say is completely true. IMO, the two strongest artifacts you can start with are: 1. The Sack of Gold - 250 gold per day (totally abusive because you will gain a lot of extra gold by the time you can actually be attacked). 2. Necklace of the Bloody Claw - +1 unit damage. This'll own...

We're not serious about it, it's just annoying. The other bonuses are trivial compared to most artifacts.

I'd get Power of Speed for Mass Haste, but your build is pretty solid. Mass Haste > Tactics IMO. Also, since Master of Mind gives Mass Slow, and well that's what we mainly want, I'd even grab Weakening Strike for a little extra kick. I dunno if that's a good choice or not, Mass Confusion is good, bu...

So who else plays on extra hard and loves seeing the necro player start with the +1 dmg trinket for his skele archers, or the some other Joe getting a +250gold a day trinket, and you're sitting on a +50% earth damage scepter that will be barely be worth it even if you're Sinitar with Implosion. &quo...

I'd like to make some 3v3 and 4v4 maps or dl some if possible, or even change existing 6 player FFA/8 player FFA maps into team games. I also want the option to pick what faction each player is if possible, or figure out how to change them. Thanks for any help.
