Majestic Twelve

from Stardock Forums

Hon. Wargamers;

 

I have been experimenting with imbuing my champions.  Me and 11 of my closest friends have been wandering the wastes.  We are all channelers. By imbuing everything I can get my hands on I have been left with 3 essence while my proteges are hovering around 12.  With my 15 charisma I have been vacuuming up farmers and other unskilled labor and turning them into channellers.  As we adventure together, we power level fairly quickly.  For those waifs in the band who have yet to receive the purity of my essence, they become more and more intelligent under my guiding tutelage.  I can now leave a dozen familiars and fire giants behind to garrison my conquests.  

 

The meek have inherited the Earth.

 

I hope this helps you in your efforts to wrest order from chaos.

 

Respectfully

Pleroma

How did you manage the fire giants? At 16 mana each were you able to produce them all with your sovereign (before you took hs essence that low), 1 per champion? I had thought each champion would need to cast his own, and you wouldn't have sufficient mana

I have followed a similar if less extreme strategy, took 15 each int/wis/char on my sovereign, imbue all of the champions I find without letting sovereign essence drop too low. I take then to 10 essence (enough for 2 chain lightnings or 3 single-target spells) and then up their int.

The total mana regen is so much better across multiple casters that it can carry you through a long way into the game

My sovereign levels up exclusively with essence.  I imbue my champions as fast as I can.  They all adventure together in a super stack and level up quickly.  Each of my champions with essence spends their xp on essence.  Each of my champions without essence spend their xp on intelligence.  It does not take long to raise a dozen farmers to 18 essence when you are ropeadopping your neighbors sovereign and crushing wandering monsters/completing quests.

I tried that, not fun, too much work, very dangerous in early mid to late game. I don't want to do that in every game. I don't even want to think about it in a MP game. only thing keeping me alive is my summoned monsters, if I get to even summon them....if the ai or someone smart enough and use a 100+ att monster with range spell that does 1/2 the attack as damage it will be over, or mob of range attackers
