PS: Same holds for the Hall of Fame. Suggestion: For each champion a province name (not the number) might be listed, having a delay of 1-3 turns (random).

That would be cool. But -- I just had a "powerful mage magically attack" etc etc - and the game wouldn't even tell me in which of my *own* provinces my *own* mage had died.

Since no-one has gone after original question 3):
If the sieging nation casts, it hits the defenders. If the defenders cast, it hits the siege force. Not sure what happens if a third nation casts-- anyone want to test that?
And on 4): Winter Bringer (casts Falling Frost for free, yay) probably shouldn't be unique. Be sure to load MR items on holder of Stone Sword or Sword of Many Colors. Carcator's +2 research is lost since you likely have all research sewn up within the next 15 or so turns, a real what's the point? situation.

I absolutely disagree about the Green Eye. I think it is one of the good
artifacts, and it sure as Hell should not become a non-unique item. In my
current game I have been using a Warlock with a rune-smasher, the Green Eye and
a focus to Hellbind enemy commanders. Nephelle was one of the prizes. Yes, a
ring of sorcery or wizardry bring half the penetration, but the Sleep autocasts
are nice as well, and not everyone has the astral ressources for the rings.

I think the Green Eye is one of the perfectly balanced artifacts.

The best artifacts are Magebane, Aegis, The Barier, the hammers of the Forge
Lord and the Cyclops, The Summit, the Boots of the Planes, and the Gateway.
There are other good artifacts, indeed, but the above are exceptional.

Of course, anyone building a strategy around one of these must remember that
one can wish for artifacts. I fondly remember the game in which I snatched
Magebane from Odin's hands before a major battle.

Well, thank you very much for bringing this up. You remind people that one can wish for artifacts, and in my current game, someone snatches Mage bane from my pretender's hands.

Coincidance? I think not! You owe me a Mage Bane in the next game we play together!

Don't forget the Amon Hotep. Excellent little item.

What do you mean by the Cyclops didn't find it in Zen MIQR
I found that the armor of Virtue is one of the top contender to.

It is the hammer of the cyclops , a non-forgeable unique artifact that gives also 50% construction bonus .
With much luck an Indycommander can have it and you can get it by defeating this Indycommander like you get Precious etc. when defeating Bogus .
