EVIL Gibson: Mar 23, 2001; Internet of Things is just someone else's computer that people can't help attaching cameras and door locks to!; Switchblade Switcharoo

Playing in a 5+ person game. I picked EA Berytos. Are there any fun Pretender builds out there? If you have something, please PM me because one of the jerks I am playing against posts in this thread.

Length-1 weapons are a bit better. Weapon lengths now go from 0-5, rather than 0-6. All length 2-6 weapons have dropped a category. So previously length-1 weapons benefit from this, since they aren't repelled by previously length-2 weapons anymore.

So this is the reason larger is now a bless. Makes match ups super awkward. Human barely able to hit a giant in the head with a long rear end Pike might not be able to if the giant is made larger .

I think you are scripting 5 actions, so it will work like always.

I think it still needs clarification. If I cast a spell that takes 2 turns to finish 5 times are you , in essence, programming the first 10 turns of a commander?

It is correct though that if multiple turn spells/actions (I can see the difficulty of using things like crossbows or artillery taking more than 2 turns to "cast"*) that normal units need a way to customize the length of time they should wait for.

It will become a downward spiral of suck if there is no way to stop units from running into a wall of instant death that is summoned right on top of them as they charge in without a way for them to wait until the mages are done casting.

* A commander ability or misc army artifact where crossbows are preloaded or take significantly less time to reload would be great if the range game is going to change.
