[quote who="halmal242" reply="27" id="3320094"]Quite the contrary I actually prefer playing with magic centered characters, All I am saying is that a lower/mid level mage should have much more difficulty landing such a crippling spell on a boss monster. The mechanic is simple for spell calculation, Spell Mastery - Spell Resistance = Chance for a spell to hit and not be resisted. I am just saying unless someone specializes almost exclusively it should not be possible to land a non

[quote who="Mtn_Man" reply="76" id="3320205"]Agreed. The AI shouldn't be coordinating with the sole purpose of defeating the player. [/quote] I disagree because as humaans when we play games against one another that IS the SOUL purpose in playing the game...defeating the others. And if one player is taking the lead it is the soul purpose of those other players behind to go after that person. I've played enough RISK to know this even. ;)

I also think the AI should keep some kind of database on the amount of times in "previous" games you have mistreated it or defeated it so that eventually until the humaan has actually lost a game the game AI becomes more and more aggressive towards the humaan player from the start and if there are a lot of them then they will ally much earlier in the game and go after the most likely exploiting, cheating and arrogant gloating humaan winner. This would giv

You used an example to support your argument, that humans being able to use magic to bring a much more powerful creature down to a level where a human can beat it is wrong. Yet, the example doesn't support this, because both beings are of the same kind and roughly the same power level. [/quote] And what are "So

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="1" id="3319478"]My problem with the shrink/blind thing is this. If those spells don't work on powerful creatures, then why have the spells at all? Why waste the mana, why even get the ability? Maybe they shouldn't work as well, but to eliminate them from working on boss level monsters makes magic less effective and worthwhile in a game where it should be extremely powerful. It also lessens the tactical/strategic element of

I'd like to see the AI not send out it's Sovereign or even champions out solo after a certain amount of turns from the start of the game.
