Now just wait for one of them to get Heroic Strength, boosting it to insane levels.

Offtopic- I saw a knight with 221(!) AP in battle. Apparently water blessed + heroic quickness.

Considering efficiency, isn't it a better plan to stockpile your air gems for boosters/staff of storms ? Those bows are 5 gems each, it's quite a lot.

ow you must tell Anette so she can get a screenshot of that for above her bed..

Cavemen have a starting prec of 9. Thats why you need the eye of aiming, unless you empower him in nature. Which means 10 air gems not 5. Thats not counting the 10 for the cloak of arrow protection. Which makes it 20 air gems.

Efficiency? You dried up pencil pusher. Who cares if you win more games. You have lost the sheer love of adventure. Of turning myopic neanderthals into long range giant killing archers. Insanity? I spit in your general direction and shake my private parts at you.

I bet you have never even GORed a Hydra.

Stupidity? I don't know the meaning of the word.

Thunder bows require 10A gems. Edi's DB indicates caveman precision is 10, but 9 is correct.

Here Here! I can barley name a unit that I have not GORed!

Thanks Cor2. Have you GORed a Monster Fish and equipped it with a Fish Amulet? I have been meaning to.

Thanks Wic. However the robe is only 5 gems so we are still at 20 air gems. Plus 10 earth and 5 nature for the boots and bear t-man.

The point is .....what is the cost of fun. Don't you get board with same old same old? Sometimes neat is it's own reward. You are not doing this for a archer that can kill almost any heavy footman in one shot. You are doing this for one that could kill any heavy armored unit in one shot but prefers to shoot militia. Cause he's going to hit the one chaff in the middle of massed armor.

You think you guys squander gems? Ha! I laugh at you. You sink 10-20 gems into an
archer, and think you're being wasteful. You've got nothing. Nothing, I tell you.

In the Dominions II Free for All tournament, in a very competive MP game, I
got a few of my provinces hit by multiple Exhibit As. When I started patrolling
to root them out, I unearthed Exhibit B.

Now, THAT was a waste of gems. Observe, and give the mistress her due.

Just a Fish Amulet? Why don't you give the Monster Fish a Fish Amulet, and the Gift of Kurgi, for true Flying Monster Fish Madness! LA Atlantis is probably best to try this, since at least they've got some land to get blood hunting on, and a B4 bless on Arssartuts is not a complete waste. You'd probably lose the race to Const 8 in MP though.

Back to the original topic ... I'm always trying to find a good thug to give some fire bolas to. 50 shots! A little Aim, and Strength of Giants, could buff up a squad of double-fire-bola firing cavemen nicely.

Oh yes, the GORed monster fish is a natural.
My favorite GOR is Eater of the Dead, when it goes ballistic hopefully its deep in enemy territory.

Flying monster fish from the neither void!

Armies of fire bola chucking cavemen!

These are things I have to try.
