Re: No books
Wait, how are pikemen ever a threat to war trolls? The trick with trolls is to run away and regenerate whenever you get into trouble. You can do this even with basic units, but double-moving war trolls make it effortless. Pikemen shouldn't stand a chance. Paladin can be a pain, but you should be abl...

Re: MOM 2.0 Upload
Now I've tried few games on large landmasses. First I attempt this following setup: 3 life, 2 nature, 1 sorcery, 1 chaos, nodemastery, alchemy, and warlord with gnolls. I remembered having success with gnollish hordes once or twice back in 1.31, so I figured it would be even easier with the 2.0 upgr...

Re: MOM 2.0 Upload
I should have been clearer. The message claimed his disjunction had made my nagas spell fizzle, but wind mastery never went away.

Re: MOM 2.0 Upload
My second game has been 9 sorcery, conjurer, and sorcery mastery on a small landmass. I stalled out after a burst of early expansion against neutral cities and thought the AI wizards would eat me for sure. They didn't. I began my assault on my closest neighbor by taking advantage of the interaction ...

Re: Best race
I've actually had success with gnolls on impossible. You just swarm with spearmen and bowmen early on. Not the best race, obviously, but better than you might expect.

Re: MOM 2.0 Upload
Thanks for all your work on this mod, Aureus! I was skeptical at first, but I'm enjoying the first 2.0 game I've played. I took the easy route and started off with eleven books of death. That strategy works as well as ever - a little bit better, actually, thanks to the boosts you gave death magic. I...

Re: The fastest way to win the Game
No, I think this is it. Invulnerability rocks hard.

Re: To all impossible mode players
I've found that the good 11-book strategies make impossible downright easy. Wraiths simply demolish everything, generating an army of undead in the process. I love dominating the two worlds this way. A combination of guardian spirits, endurance, and invulnerability can win even more quickly. With pe...

Re: Best race
Depends. High elves give an extra few points of mana with which to power out the various 11-book strategies. Nothing beats knowing wraiths or invulnerability on turn one, so high elves are the best race for the optimal game. Halflings probably do deserve the title in other cases, thanks to slingers,...

Re: Number of books - What exactly does that do?
One decent 9 book setup would be Chaos/Nature/Sorcery Mastery and Conjurer. You get a 60% discount on casting summons in the chosen type of magic.
