Age 66 potental changes

[smercjd]

If we could've brought this much action to irc...

Anyways, I'm thinking a ~ smercjd & cJ: thoughts ~ sticky* should be added to utopia talk.

Otherwise, all the changes are cool with me and will be in The Virtual Kingdom where I'll attempt to get a synergy mesh going. Haven't applied any second stage thinking yet for hidden strengths. Maybe some espresso and a cigar would help.

Irc failed me

Is cj cool?

You cant go arround adding stuff like 50% military/alch ... those are gamebreaking changes

[kwijybow]

I still don't see the point in swapping Mages Fury / Invisibility between Elf and Halfling. Why make a thief / attacker race and give them a very minor magic buff? Same with giving a magic / attacker a thievery buff. Seems like a waste to me. I wont be using MF on my Halfer rogue but I will be missing Invisibility.

Halfer suck with these changes, only good for super thief (half/rogue).
A/T with no hosp is a joke. Dont understand why you all think its good and balanced.

Another vote for smercjd's +1 Ospec for War Hero

Lots of interesting discussion going on, let's hope it actually translates to interesting (read unorthodox!) play during the age.... (sighs wistfully)

When can we see finals?

Uh...how so?
Sage has 40% on all...merch would have 50% on just alchemy...

Uh, did you by chance see them this age?

[Cronus]

Well, I posted it somewhere else, so I´ll transcribe it here: "Humans will be affected with "-20% battle gains". Does this include spec creds, honor and building creds too? Because humans will be totally ruined then. Or just land grabs?
Having dwarvs building advantages only, orcs will be probabily the only attackers this age IMO (Orc/cleric combo mostly and Orc/sage -to counter -20% penalty on sci eff-).
IMO, dwarves and humans should get +1 def spec both in addition for balance.

Giving dwarves and humans +1 def spec would make both absurdly powerful and make elf pointless. Give elf 6/5 and bloodlust and then we'll talk ;)

Didn't see any halfer this age, they where useless. Just like they will be next age with these changes. Only half/rogue can be used as a super thief. Any other combo is weak. Why design a race that only fits 1 personalty? And even then it can only be strong at 1 thing.

[natebane]

Make halfer Elite: 4/4, 300gc, 4NW and they're good to go

You could always give Halfer the old Freak personality bonus lol.

[pathetic sheep]

...Effectively making both overpopulation impossible ...

I think this post is funny. I am quite sure there will be a lot of overpopulated avians. Plenty of people want chaining to be harder. Ambush immunity will have some effect but not much.

With the current suggestion halfer attackers will have more offense than orc or undead. I am not seeing why that would be worthless. You can stick an personality on your halfling attacker. Rogue personality makes sense but you can be good at anything if you try.
