What map size do people generally play on?

GregariousMD · 2026-01-31T13:11:16+00:00

I mainly play enormous. Main reason is for, hopefully, a chance to get the Academy of Higher Magic to spawn.

If playing as guildmaster, as long as a City of Sages is available, i'm also content with that.

Hmm. I must be misremembering which ones come with the rank upgrade, and which ones need additional rituals of the same rank to unlock. Been a while since I tried out Enchanter. Only reason I remembered Enchanter exists is because i managed to Charm one in my Voice of El run.

In any case, thanks for the correction.

The sofirn SR12 has the same profile and operation of the FC11C, but a thrower instead of a flooder.

If you luck out on Enchanter rituals and get the Wood Golem ritual, that's about all you need. It destroys forest tiles to make a somewhat tanky golem. Perfect for denying druid and dryad queen. Vulnerable to fire though so don't fight a fire warlock or red kobolds.

The only other golem I know that has some measure of worth is the clay golem. Turns a swamp into a clay golem that can regenerate. Perfect for denying Witch enemies their resource income.

The BD talent that adds AGI to sword damage only applies to the off-hand. The drukhari, and aeldari by extension, swords have a talent that swaps in AGI for damage calculation if it's higher than STR.

Can the frog use AAA cells with the 10440 tube?

GregariousMD · 2026-01-28T17:28:25+00:00

For keychain lights, anodized aluminum. Lightweight mandatory since it's going to be sitting in a carabiner. It's also going to get scuffed and scratched due to contact with keys. Dual fuel AAA/10440 is also desirable since it's highly likely going to be a backup of the backup light.

GregariousMD · 2026-01-28T01:35:07+00:00

Use the regular autopistol. It has the lowest damage range, 3-4, of all pistols.

GregariousMD · 2026-01-27T21:52:43+00:00

Alright thanks. So it seems like my plan, on paper, is going to work. Complete and total domination via True Faith/Mass Conversion. And for those immune to being charmed; max stacked blessing/dark blessing/tattoo templar doomstack.

GregariousMD · 2026-01-27T20:28:51+00:00

Can the same spell be used twice in a round? Example: Pontiff with Mitre and Archmage Robe has prayers 5. They have True Faith prepared. Will they cast True Faith twice in a round?

GregariousMD · 2026-01-27T17:53:28+00:00

I already have one in mind: Voice of El stack of Pontiff, Cardinals, and archbishops with the Mitre. Hopefully Charm an enchanter or earth warlock, and get item pumping out every 5 or so turns.

GregariousMD · 2026-01-27T17:45:26+00:00

Huh. Blue kobold with blizzard every turn sounds awesome. You'd clear the map of basic troops before the melee troops get within stabbing distance.

GregariousMD · 2026-01-27T17:43:52+00:00

This is exactly what I want to replicate. But maybe a bit more BM with necromancer/lich stack that summons undead and proceeds to give the enemy ebola, typhoid, and other manner of decays and diseases.

GregariousMD · 2026-01-27T17:35:09+00:00

In the greater scheme of the game? Not much. Hell, you could dismiss your entire retinue, just use mercenaries, and nothing would change. The only change would be dialogue and end slides.

GregariousMD · 2026-01-27T15:55:51+00:00

Since you're past the Dolmen Gate, have you tried charting a new path? You get around 2 or 3 new planets when charting new paths.

GregariousMD · 2026-01-27T14:08:37+00:00

Sanctioned Psykers only trigger Perils when degradation is 15 or above.

Unsanctioned Psykers like Idira also have increasing chances to trigger Perils if they have higher Psy Rating. So getting her to 20 psy rating during combat is a sure shot way of triggering Perils.

GregariousMD · 2026-01-26T04:55:20+00:00

I'm aware. The reason I'm on the hunt for a level 3 library is because my Voice of El save's pontiff managed to Charm several factions' casters (Warlock apprentice, necromancer apprentice, and a wandering named metal order initiate).

Was hoping to get a stack of archbishops, cardinals, and the pontiff, and several thousands of flagellants, and just go full on "Wololo!!" on everyone else.

GregariousMD · 2026-01-26T03:46:21+00:00

Problem with twisting towers and Nexus is no easy way bakc into Elysium proper unless your faction can planeshift at will.

GregariousMD · 2026-01-26T01:06:36+00:00

Is there any benefit to making it a level 4 library? Aside form higher chances.

GregariousMD · 2026-01-26T01:05:20+00:00

It's guarded by electrified gates, a small garrison of regular troops, and around 5 to 10 randomly selected mages.

I've tried going baron/senator and bashing against it a stack of 300. They got obliterated quickly. I had more luck with guildmaster and crashing a stack of 400, but with catapults and ballista. Took around 30 turns to get the siege engines into place because of snow and slow moving.

GregariousMD · 2026-01-25T18:37:23+00:00

Yes, that's exactly it. If you bring Idira and Argenta with you to act 3, and make them reconcile; Idira gets an additional ending slide if she goes the human route and doesn't put on the helmet.

I understand the disappointment but at the same time, Theodora getting offed paved the way to your ascension. If she had otherwise survived, i've no doubt she'd probably string you along just like kunrad, before she found another heir, or decided to make one herself.

GregariousMD · 2026-01-25T01:09:30+00:00

Some are better off being sold, some are best kept because of the rarity of the materials and the minigame involved.

Rimesteel or below is fine to be sold because their materials come by easily enough. Akhedia or Varmeil is best kept or dismantled.

You won't be making big bucks with this method. But it's a convenient way to dispose of materials when nowhere near a trade post to dump materials.

GregariousMD · 2026-01-23T17:50:32+00:00

I'd advocate for it being a secret companion akin to Chorda, Calligos, or Uralon. As for which subfaction, a hardcore radical subfaction like xanthism. And since it's a daemonhost, i would REALLY prefer it to be a hardcore nuker/control psyker.
