I understand - what I ment was, I have my doubts if you would ever find yourself in a situation where it would be an advantage to get those minor artifacts, but looking through the list, I see there's actually some decent artifacts among them, and some pricy ones as well - can you sell artifacts in normal marketplace?


actually I thought about adding a chance for major artifacts, but I looked at the list too and saw that some minor artifacts are indded decent. and seriously, do you find that many major artifacts / relics on each map? the minor artifacts could at least be useful to secondary heroes


Quote:
Prereq
Expert Destruction, all the Masters (master of fire, etc)

in that case it's not a destructive perk

Quote:

Wuuuhu love your perk Fauch mostly because of the Hellfire idea, it making Pit Lords an option over Pit Spawns again and the fact that it makes one of Infernos theme skills an option again. But then again I think it triggering on Hellfire (while very useful) makes it reeeeally powerful since it's a 30% chance to trigger for all 7 units and it reduces your defense by 50% which is a whole lot on high tier units. But anyways love the idea.

And Nebdar... that's a really cool perk too eventhough an Armaggedon the size of "SP+Kn+Hero Lvl" can easily turn whatever is standing below into a nuclear wasteland. Especially considering that Guardian  Angle triggers at the very end of the combat where you're bound to have done some decent damage already. So once the stack is ressurected there really would be nothing left to fight... I mean your formula is easily in the region of a 30 SP Armaggedon xD.

And Mytical I think your idea is really cool too but the perk isn't just hard to obtain it's impossible just like Fauch said. Then again it's a good thing since it is terrifyingly powerful for the very low requirements (if you don't pick master of Fire first and have your other skills on a "no perk offerable" basis it'll be a walk in the park. Especially with Svea who can have Advanced Destruction and +1 Mastery apart from Lightning after 2 levels)

EDIT: Is it ok for us to sabotage talk about the perks or is this somewhat limiting the judges jurisdiction

Thanks for your opinions and i am glad that you liked it...

I must rethink the name and the effective spelpower and i made it overpowered for the begining of my thinking process(From Russia with Love)

I liked mamgeater idea it is simple but effective

Actually I think the name is hilarious. But I guess I understand if you want to go for something a tad more serious (the idea has immense naming potential as all "Religion/Divine Retribution + Destruction"-Themes have).

Oh and Mamgas perk is a nice gamble. At first I thought that it's too powerful because an early Hordes Anger would pretty much annihilate a stack but then again vs. Fortress you're bound to focus fire on atleast one stack so all of them having level 1 should be pretty rare unless you get very lucky with that initial rage boost.

Academy
God of sky
requires destructive magic advanced, sap magic.

Your are now able to use an enhanced version of your lightning spells to electrify your own units.

ok, it might be a bit complicated.
this perk allows you to cast lightning bolt and chain lightning on your own stacks provided that they aren't immune to lightnings or to magic (you can cast it on stacks with enchanted armour to heal them, but they won't benefit from the effect of the perk)

ok, provided that the primary target is one of your own stacks(and only one of your stacks), all the stacks struck by the spell (including enemies one, be careful with chain lightning) will gain the stormstrike ability (in melee only) for one turn (of initiative 10).

the effect of master of lightning isn't applied (you don't want to stun your own army)
the spell damage are normal and affected by all the usual factors (good thing that you had to take sap magic)
this ability is unaffected by magic mirror
this ability won't trigger mark of the wizard

the damage inflicted by stormstrike is equal to 50% of the damage normally dealt by the stack.
-for the secondary target of chain lightning it is 25%
-for the third target of chain lightning it is 12.5%
-for the fourth target of chain lightning it is 6.25%

-if the creature has the ability magic resistance 25% the damage is multiplied by 0.75
-if the creature has the ability magic resistance 50% the damage is multiplied by 0.5
-if the creature has the ability magic resistance 75% the damage is multiplied by 0.25
-if the creature has the ability aura of magic vulnerability the damage is multiplied by 1.5

all other factor which may modify the damage dealt by the spell will not affect the damage added by stormstrike, so make your hero as magic proof as possible if you plan to use that ability.

to put it simply : damage your own creatures with lightning spells to grant them the stormstrike ability in melee for one turn.

For Academy I had this one in mind:

Perk for Academy

Master of Lightning

Prerequisites:

Advanced Destructive, Master of Storms, Basic Sorcery, Magic Insight, Mark of the Wizard

Effect:

The Wizard learns the spell Chain Lightning; when the Wizard targets an enemy stack marked with Mark of the Wizard FIRST with the Chain Lightning spell, the stun effect applies to ALL stacks hit (including friendly stacks).

And one for Sylvans:

Perk for Sylvans

Sylanna's Secrets

Prerequisites:

Expert Destructive, Secrets of Destruction, Basic Sorcery, Magic Insight

Effect:

The Ranger learns the spell Meteor Shower or Implosion (randomly determined); targets hit by Stone Spikes, Meteor Shower, or Implosion lose randomly 1 Init OR 1 Speed for the remainder of battle. Speed can never be reduced below 1 and init can never be reduced below 5 this way.

I think it's fine you discuss perks and give each other feedback.

Btw. From Asha With Love has to take the price for most hilarious perk name ever.

He ment to say that if you would have left the name "From Asha with Love" he'd given you minus points for that.
He didn't answer the idea thing but as you can see from his judging he picks the one he deems worthy of the most points and ignores the others (I think he even said it somewhere, JJ asked before I think), while Alci on the other hand (the workaholic and unshakably responsible guy he is) judges them all and picks the best one instead of adding it all up and dividing it by 3.

I personally don't like the idea of posting whatever pops up in your head since the process of deciding which idea you go with should be part of the challenge. On the other hand you get to see more ideas which is cool too.

No, I always judge the first one they post and ignore the rest. 1 perk per round is the rule. And then I average together Alcibiades score for the same one that I judged.

Hmm yeah technically it would fall into the 'special' perk section and mean you would have to give up either Fine Rune, Refresh Rune, or Double Rune.

Yep.  Still, when I try to modify a skill it ends up much worse, so I'll take the hit on the 'realism' part.

Inferno
Sheoghs Embrace
Preq: Hellfire, Searing Flames

"...and you shall fear and praise Elrath! For he is the only thing that stands between you and the portals of hell it self! I have seen Sheogh! And I was tested... for the Demon as we know it in our planes is but a shadow of the fierce... primordial, terrifying power that he is where he is at home. I fought them... Legions of Urgashs unholy minions bathed in the unquenchable fires of hell itself... never have I known despair and fear more than on that day. So be ever vigilant but above all be ever diligent in your faith! For on that day I..." Excerpt of Godrics sermon on the 10th commemoration of the Sovereigns defeat.

To a Demon Lord fire is so much more than just a mere tool for Destruction. Their birth-element empowers them, for it is where they truly belong. While mortals despair and have defense reduced a demon rejoices. What he loses in defense he'll make up for with extra savagery.

In short: Any Inferno unit targeted by a Firespell of the Demon Lord will turn the Defense it loses (the 50% due to "Master of Fire") into Attack. "Hellfire" is certain to trigger on the next offensive action of the targeted creature(s).

EDIT: I must admit that I don't believe I'm the father of this idea. At least not to the idea that sparked my perk. A loooong time ago (when I was still an famous hero...) I think Alci, Moonlith, me and someoneelse? where talking about Inferno in a thread of the temple and someone (I think it was Moonlith) came up with an idea that by targeting his own units with destruction spells he could practically "buff" them. So it's what I did since I remember that I thought the idea was awesome. Not sure whether I've buffed them enough though... while I would have loved to give them something like +2 morale or frightful aura or make them gain what enemy units in the same are of effect lose defensevise loooots of things to do but they all hardly benefit the balance of the perk.
