Gotta admit, this battle was kinda funny.

Are those pretenders? Why are you guys using those shit chassis?

Technically Disciples. Looking at Hinnom's offerings, and the need to have somebody with high S, while preferably being an early expander/SC, what would you do? Serious question.

Are you aware that Shedu has 8 att? And one attack? It completely relies on trample and as such is worthless on big units.

Sphinx is a classic DS pretender with better stats and DS crosspath. Celestial lion gets more attacks at 15 att. Both also have fear which is great for expanding.

But I wouldnt go for high S Hinnom when you can take the Moloch.

Yeah, we already had a Moloch. It's tricky juggling "needs" in a big Disciples game. I'm aware of the low attack, but I've had pretty good success/seen success in a few games, and eventually it's just going to be sitting in a lab/doing battlefield magic. The points are valid though, perhaps there was a better way.

GIVE ME A GOOD DISCIPLE CHASSIS FOR EA AGARTHA

I DARE YOU

And suggestions on how to kill a high S Shedu with amulet of regen or rainbow scorpion men are also well accepted

Uh wow seriously? Risen oracle? DE (excellent SC paths), fucking IMMORTAL. And excellent stats? (amphibian, cold/poison res, full slots, average attack and decent defense, chill aura, fear).

Stop baiting me with scorpion men then.

Now that we have fully shown that I'm competent in Pretender choices and worthy of your superior potato attention help me killing off

S9E3 Shedu with Amulet of antimagic and ring of regen, casting resist Magic and all the assorted S/E buffs. Fucker got lucky last battle and survived my Olms, and now with MR 27 he's kinda harsh. No, "bait him into a sea of summons" could work, but I'd love alternate approaches

F3A2E5N3 Scorpion Man with Frost Brand and Vine shield. This one is tough, and he has more possible self-buffs than I can wave my Mercury Elementals at

Does anybody know for sure if a Titan can theoretically enter Hall of Fame? He's not a Pretender, just a Prophet. Currently has 40 frags and level 3, but still no cool ability. Makes me wonder if these Pretender-types can enter HoF at all.

Results of the first big battle(Ur/Hinnom didn't count) of Disciple Town USA. Some spells didn't fire, some scripting didn't quite work(by the looks of it), and in the end it was just a clusterfuck of giants and half giants hacking away at each-other with a demon in the middle. The militia were literally fed to the dogs. The Moloch invited everyone to his bonfire. Well, it was entertaining that's for sure!

Desperate times require desperate measures... Besides, their purpose was only one - to be obliterated.

Well, the turn was already extended to Saturday (unnecessarily?) :)

Do you need more? Or are you talking about extending the next turn?

Should've brought in more mages / gems (A Elementals), p. disappointing result for me really. I underestimated the Moloch's effect, tied up a lot of guys, basically split the army in too.

On the plus side the Moloch's diseased now thanks to the D9.
