Poll: Changing CB to be a thievery op

[Poggo]

Good or bad?

[Sean1]

I voted bad not just b/c I'm a conservative with this stuff, but because that leaves mage with no intel. We're going to see a lot of kingdoms pure a/t this age, I think. If halfling or gnome get the changes they need to be decent a/t's, I'm prepared for a full server of them.

[Bishop]

expose thieves. Now what will the a/t do?

i don't think i'll bother voting since i do not know yet how hard/easy CB will be and how much stealth it will use

[Osiris]

3 voted for "This is a good change".

Sean, Brian and Thundergore?

[Yadda9To5]

I like it, it makes magic so much more useful (no need to waste mana on intel anymore, ToG ftw!!!)

[lichemaster]

This change at best doesn't change anything at all, although you can easily mess it up if you want to. No one asked for it. No one asked for halflings either. Start listening.

[olAllan]

Easy answer, terrable change!

[Dracoa]

Easiest question to answer ever to date. This is the worst idea that BS has had concerning this game so far.

[beeper]

maybe somebody somehow already modifyed the programm, moved CB to thievery and they can't revert this
as they have no ideea on how that happened ...so all they can do now is give this a name
and we told sean so many times : let programmer do a programmer's job

[darkviking]

Too early to vote

[Spliff]

Um, sense when does a thief have a crystal ball at there disposal? Just gay

[Ethan]

@Bishop - what exactly are the numbers on expose thieves? I really like the idea of forcing a war target to hit BLIND when trying to retal. Keep enough ET up along with good WTs and ok tpa... and they can't get intel reliably because they *literally* have no stealth!

[Bishop]

Ethan, i think its 8% of stealth removed, apparently we don't have exact confirmation.

I guess it all really depends on how they implement this - if CBs and CEs now consume say 1% mana, are are pretty easy (maybe capping the tpa comparison?) then i don't really see much difficulty with it - not sure how exciting a new race with boosted intel-gathering is, but i guess we need to see final race changes to decide.

Your second paragraph isn't allowed btw, PM me if you arent sure why.

[Fiskinator]

Bad idea. Giving the option of gaining intel through both magic and thievery would have been ok but giving it exclusively to thievery in order to 'make it more important' is pants-on-head stupid.

[Scavenger]

It sort of makes more sense that you can steal papers instead of using some cristal eye to look into the recent history of a kingdom, if you wish to nerf the fantasy element a bit to make it more realistic, i guess. Same goes for CB. Then again, this game is played by orcs and what not.
It really doesn't make much of a difference, yet it is a chance and chance is one of the core elements of this game.
No reason not to do it.
