So why do I try?

So why do I try to use communion?

Why?

You have can as many casters scripted for releif as you want. After 5 turns have passed those shaman are going to do their own thing. And then all of your communincants are going to die.

Is thyere any wonder that all of the "l33t" players think that the only spells worth casting are battle field spells?

Would it be so much to ask for a command which would be "CAST THIS SPELL NO MATTER WHAT FROM NOW ON?"

So sad.

Well communion is off my list for whatever game I play in the future.

Oh and if anyone wants pythium in "newbies_unite" give me a ring on this message.

It's going computer in one day.

Also if you want Vanehiem in Fareun Folly give me a ring.

Both have the largest land masses of anyone on the map, if that counts for anything.

But both are somewhat weak in SC's. And as we all know SC's are the game.

Because it gives you an enormous boost in the amount of spells that can be cast and the power of these spells that is impossible to achieve in any other way.

I take it that you didn't have enough communicants then. If you didn't have a bare minimum of 4 or 5 per master then you are going to lose them in any given battle. They are expendable anyways, so it's not as if you've suffered a major loss when they die.

A 5 to 1 ratio would have died in the battle I just saw. A 10 to 1 ratio would probably have died. Perhaps a 20 to 1 ratio MAY have lived. AMAZING!

However if the mass of shaman had continued to cast releif they would have all survived without a scratch.

You've provided absolutely no useful information about how many communion masters you had, what type they were, how many slaves you had, how long the battle Lasted, or anything else. I assumed that you didn't have enough communicants, since that's obviously the case if they aren't bringing the fatigue cost for a spell down to 1 per cast.

Which would hardly be balanced now, would it. If you didn't take any risks when you used communion, then there would be no reason to play anything other than Pythium.

If you really want a replacement could you post a new hread who says that clearly, or change the title of this one to something like "need a replacement"
It would make it clearer.
For the newbies_unite (who isn't really newbieish), please wait for a replacement it would seriously hurt the game if you go to AI
