Sorry then

tbh, when you said that I started to doubt myself until I found ant's post

What I don't get is, why would you choose to go a route, which is obviously supposed to be great for landwhoring, and have your uber stealers get only 12% ? I suggest lowering their stats a bit and making them get the usual 15%, and also I don't really see how is a "virtuous/damned" combo any different than a stealth harv/tractor combo (apart from the ETA ofc.) And correct me if I'm wrong but aren't "Ceberus" pretty useless for a punit ? They seem good for stripping armour, but nothing in that route fires after them

Well as i said the concept was all i really came up with, the stats were just something to give people to talk about - however i'll try and go into some of my thinking behind everything.

I had doubts when i put 12% for the stealers, however, i figured they're alot more survivable than geo's, you need less of them to get through for a land steal and in the back of the mind i was considering making them fire before geo's, but obviously i didn't put an initiative for it.

The damned/virtuous are an awful lot cheaper than the stealth harv/tractors so you can buy a decent number of flak w/o being high ranked.

and as davs said i meant to have ceberus as the health hitter.

In terms of the route relying on the p-unit there are so many routes which are heavily reliant on the p-unit (vd's, all the thugs routes, both fantasy routes, and even SO's). I would argue that imps make the route not wholly unplayable w/o the p-unit.

In terms of imps being overpowered i did think this when i was putting it down, but i'd say the stats are necessary to give the route some power. The reason why i put them second was by and large because i didn't want to have the two flak units coming out too early and unbalancing everything. Perhaps a solution is to swap the engineering unit with imps.

only tl's are relied on, and vamps. all else just adds a specialisation.

you can play sorc fine without dragons. you just shouldnt go fighting rangers. to tired for anything more constructive should sleep.

my thoughts on the matter

ofc with a ntl route a similar biker type unit would have to be introduced but just a few things to lol over, if ppl are interested i could come up with the little captions that other units have like "Description: A magically shielded white wizard, sent to help us for our honourable deeds!" for White Wiz

just fyi the cultist makes the last unit incase ppl are like wtf

 

[Davs]

Lupus, I don't really understand the point in your Ashtaroth unit. Looking at the stats, it looks like a fairly decent LET flak unit - until I see the price (200k) which makes it the 2nd most expensive unit in the game that you can hire....

For it's price I'd expect it to do something more useful than just survive to wacth all of your other units die...

I can see time and effort has been put into this route, but let's be honest it's pointless.
Sort the two other fantasy routes out before you even think about making a new one.

And I really really don't like any ideas posted for this 3rd branch.
