Ice Age game interest?

[unclemike]

Ice Age game huh...I'll join as the last player only if no one else wants in. We'll probably see that new Wintering order being used often in this game. Keep in mind though the new order counts as movement for your group and you can't train/recruit troops so it has its drawbacks.

[unclemike]

I forgot to mention, if you like wizard combat spells, an Ice Age game is where you may want to be in order to do maximum damage with three pwr-5 wizards:

pwr-5 earthquake (2200 x 5) = 11,000
pwr-5 tornado (1800 x 5) = 9,000
pwr-5 firestrike (1400 x 5 x 1.5 Ice Age bonus for fire-based spells) = 10,500

Total potential spell damage = 30,500

And that's BEFORE spell density vs opposing foes:
  125% vs. divisions/towns
  150% vs. armies/cities
  200% vs. army groups

So, if you like wizards doing a heck of a lot of damage in the early stages of combat, join this Ice Age game and have some fun!!!

So with unclemike on board, we just need 4 more players before the extravaganze starts to heat up in the frigid cold!

Are the powers of presents increased as well? It’s considered equal to a firestrike but was not sure if it was considered as a firesrike

[Strongwill]

Fire-oriented spells have x1.5 damage (before spell density) during Ice Age epochs. This will boost the effects of the following spells: Firestrike, Wall of Flame, Meteor Strike (pc damage spell), Avenging Angel (divine fire aspect of this priestess spell). So a pwr-2 Firestrike would do 2,100 damage rather than 1,400 (before spell density and other effects).

So, yes presence is a firestrike spell.

Are Cimmerians allowed?  I remember seeing them banned in this format.  Druid also very strong in this…

Not banned as of the posting. But they and Necromancer both have the winter attack kingdom trait which will be active in all attacks.   Makes them both dangerous.  But dragon attacks are also bumped up I think so where do we draw the line?

So what’s the consciences on kingdoms? As posted CI and NE have winter attack trait it will be auto/active in all regions throughout game. If my memory serves dragons cause more damage in ice age (Mike can check me on this, I can’t remember) and all wizard fire based spells pack extra damage. I’m for whatever everyone else wants. just someone make the call before we pick.
