Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) So far not a single reasonable/valid argument was given against a counter-spell. Both Rites should counter terrains to avoid abuse. Both Rites should give a bonus equal to 5h SB (per day considering cooldowns etc). Are you even trying? Edited April 27, 2015 by Chinpow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 27, 2015 You should see how well that fo altar counters myc then. You stand a better chance waiting for natural grass from dirt than grass from mycelium by far..... but its fine as is right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 27, 2015 honestly, its no different then casting the spell fungus and doing it all over the place... might as well remove fungus too. oh, and remove that sb spell. thats OP and shouldn't be in the game. not fair WL gets a spell that gives SB.

Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) WL has 3 kingdoms to fight myc BL has 1 kingdom to spread it Exhibit A: [Old elevation map dump upon server closing]Intended for 3 kingdoms, roughly 1/3 of the map is covered by mycelium upon the server's closing, using the current mechanic. The server had existed for many years and was never completely covered by mycelium. The current mechanic is working as intended. There is no need for a coldwar-esque arms race for a better more powerful rite of blah Edited April 28, 2015 by Alexgopen 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Balance doesn't mean war for better spell As you can see from the map dump, it is currently balanced. If you make it easier to remove mycelium, it will no longer be balanced, and all mycelium will be eradicated. If it were unbalanced in favor of BL, you would see a map covered mostly if not entirely by mycelium. If it were unbalanced in favor of WL, you would see a map with little to no mycelium. You are demanding WL's ability to remove mycelium be increased, which is not necessary, as can be seen from the map dump. All of the arguments for a spell to counter mycelium are based on the assumption "it's my kingdom and it's efforts against mycelium", but that's just not true. It's "my kingdom, and this other WL kingdom, and Rome against mycelium". You have the manpower to counter what we can do with a spell, otherwise the old map would look much different. If you think one kingdom being able to cast a spell to spread mycelium is OP, think of how OP three kingdoms casting a spell to counter it would be. You are asking for WL to have 3x the ability to remove mycelium, than BL has to spread it. Edited April 28, 2015 by Alexgopen 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) I agree there should be a casting counter spell. Does the spell require an altar and influence to cast? This is a RoS type spell....hmmm...hard to balance 5 hours sleep bonus vs red grass... Edited April 28, 2015 by Uberknot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 28, 2015 We took over whitestone area and to east covered in vynora altars for months, and it still was covered in mycelium till closing of old ele. 2+ months is not stupid amount of time to try push it back? Hell yea I want the ability to remove mycelium be stronger that is ridiculous. There is no real counter to mycelium that doesn't take forever. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 28, 2015 I don't know why this is really about kingdoms, it's about 1 super easy method to create something and no counter to remove that something And like I suggested before, make them all rely on kingdom influence not altar influence, so it cant even be abused by either side, and the only way one can use it against the other is to cap towers 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 28, 2015 The best counter to Mycelium, is to have your White Light Gods Altars everywhere so We can't have Lib influence to cast it. We did the hard work, make the altars, imp them, link the priests, and cast. If you WL guys had altars present, we would have had to erradicate them or find other areas to cast.

Alright lets say we had 90ql altars. You destroy them and replace with 90ql ones. mycelium spreads. We come back and destroy yours and replace with another 90ql. guess what that place is still covered in mycelium for months. WOW we countered mycelium? oh wait no it still is there. Everyone from BL keeps ignoring the fact that the time to remove it is insane. It's like you just assume we are trying nerf BL for no reason. let me guess the next argument. "destroy the altar before it spreads" Im sorry I don't monitor the entire map 24/7 and I doubt you do as well, we shouldn't be punished for putting same amount effort as you guys do.

Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) I think they are right if the region is taken over with another religions influence it should change much faster back. Base it on quality of altar or what ever, but the realm of a god should have a noticeable effect. Edited April 28, 2015 by Uberknot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
