I would say warriors is worse than warrior caste, though both are underwhelming. Combine them, and you have a decent trait. I disagree with you about the sacrifice spells; they work great with Magnar's overall strategy of weak slave hordes backed up by powerful magic users. He just needs a few more magic users. Hmmm, now I have to go make a new faction...

1. Do you feel monsters act too randomly? As a general rule, yes. I don't mind wolves and mites wandering around aimlessly, as they're expected to be stupid and weak. However, it doesn't make sense for a Fell Dragon to be pushed out of his home by a handful of defenseless settlers, and then wander halfway around the world to raise hell for an empire that had nothing to do with his eviction. Instead, he should make a nice pioneer souffle and

I wouldn't say it's extremely frustrating, as long as it's only a single level difference. With 3 traits right off the bat, I don't feel too cheated if I don't get a trait at level 2. But more than that is a fairly serious problem.

Agreed. It's infuriating to discover a single Ignys has laid waste to your city because you didn't notice it slithering towards you. Monster AI needs to be worked on, and the scorched earth of a destroyed city should go away.

[quote who="Ausland" reply="10" id="3246526"]Sometimes in these battles where I tame a beast, a unit of mine who was injured or killed in the battle will be alive and fully healed after the monster is tamed and the combat is over. Definitely some strange stuff going on, but its okay, because I really like this trait [/quote] So do I. Having a group of acid-spitting spiders and an umberdroth fighting alongside your sovereign is almost indescribably awesome :D

Something about it is bugged. I honestly don't mind not gaining the XP for converting a single unit, but on the other hand, I can also avoid all damage taken in the fight because of this issue. Plus, as it was noted, the popup after the battle says you gained XP, so it's more likely that not gaining XP is the bug.

[quote who="Wizard1200" reply="50" id="3245825"]Magical power increases dramatically if you have the Path of the Mage: + 25 % spell damage from the Path of the Mage - 25 % tactical spell cost from the Path of the Mage + 50 % spell damage from Evoker III - 10 % tactical spell cost from Affinity (it should be - 15 % and Mantel of the Oceans should be - 25 %) That means a Fireball without any shards inflicts 31 points of damage and costs 33

I think a limited duration is the best option for balancing Blindness. Keep it at -50% accuracy, and if you really want to be nice, give 10% of that missing accuracy back per turn, until it expires. But for the love of god, stop nerfing every single spell just because it's good! Warriors are boring to play [e digicons];)[/e]

Your AARs are so much better when you write them in character :D I still read it for your assessments, but it's nice to actually want to read what's going on in between :) Anyway, just to let you know, things aren't any faster paced in .983, and while it took me a while to get used to it, I'm now at turn ~90 and at war with two separate Empires, with two others paying me tribute. I still haven't met every faction, but the diplomacy changes from your game

Interesting. I haven't seen that particular bug, as all the beasts I've found have been in forests, meaning I can't get the loot until the next turn anyway. I'm still getting the no xp bug when you tame the only unit in the enemy stack. It slows down progression initially, as I'm missing out on the only decent source of xp my wimpy sov has for a fair amount of time.

Death's version of Mantle of Oceans is Horrific Wail, which does 3 damage per caster level to every enemy in tactical battle. It's a very nice spell, and fits well with Death's theme of painfully killing you in every way they can think of.
