That takes time. U would w8 for 1 min/artefact for me to ckeck all artefacts.
I just say artefact mercents are easyer to implement.

In this map, artifact selection is important enough that I'm prepared to give my opponent the time they need to choose - and I expect the same thing in return.
My gripe with the merchants is that aside from a huge number of random scrolls, their effective selection was really limited - which shows in the fact that despite my numerous merchant games with Elvin, I still had to check 9 arties out of ten when we tried out this method. Sure, the new system takes time, but the variation offsets that nicely. Also, this way, You're guaranteed at least 3-4 good arties, while too often the merchants let You down. In fact, on my first game with this system, I was so shocked with the sheer number of useful arties I ended up with, I thought something must be wrong!

@Sapfire29
Just tell me your uplay name and start the game. I'll show you ingame.
@arvisme
Artifact merchants have so many issues unfortunately. Imbalanced scrolls, no way to ban artifacts, no set artifacts, less chance to get a good artifact selection not to mention going back and forth between 4 merchants. It's better to check the manual 5-10 mins per day, you'll get to know the artifacts in no time

The pupil has not surpassed the master yet but it was an enjoyable game noneteless My magic blood necromancer POLYSDOOM™ afflicted Poly's magic tears shaman with a powerful agony, to be countered by purity, to be countered by chain lightning. After meditating, pure destructive carnage was unleashed upon the battlefield and turning the game around turned out an impossible mission. Although my ring of celerity(+5 init) was not match for his mesmerizing spaulders(-10 init), the advantage of initiative was not enough to tip the scales against my monstrous spellpower. I had shadow comb(+8 power / puppet), magister codex(+3 power / +3 destiny) and another +3 power from minor arties.

First confruntation
My Sanctuary powerfull magic defense hold the line against the thunder gods furry of Gameslayer989.
After a he unleashed a Lightning Storm, Implosion, Chain Lightning, and Lightning Bolt, the Kirins hit with unparalel speed and precision. After 11 turns the battle was still close but the initiative of my army gave me the first win.
Gameslayer989 will upload a clip tomorow.

In the meantime I noticed a few artifact issues that had escaped my notice.
- Hourglass of order is incredibly good, gives -3 morale per combat round! Imagine that with the hook from the pirate set I managed a +12 bonus(which is the cap) yet my celestials died with negative morale! They lost over 30 morale throughout the duration of the game. As such I will have to ban it.
- There apparently are two dragon pendants, one that gives +8 spellpower and one that is a quest item and therefore useless. Will have to remove the quest one.
I also remembered that I could make relics appear in the majors area and vice versa. So I will make a few swaps to make things fairer:
- Hearthregal mantle is just +6 morale so too weak for a relic. Will move to majors.
- Pendant of mastery was too weak for a relic since heroes already start with lvl 4 racial so it cannot be improved further - the only benefit is starting with a lvl 1 racial filled. Will move to major.
- Unicorn horn bow giving +2dmg and no range penalty is too strong for a major artifact. Will move to relics.
Map update coming shortly!

Hi,
I've been absent for a while because I have been moving this week but now I should have time to be more active.
Dynasty weapons are not allowed, right? Some of them are very good and others are not, and I guess we differ in how well developed arsenals we have.
Blizzardboy, when can you play?
This is when I cannot play (Sweden/CET):
Wednesday*, Thursday and Friday evening - various activities.
The weekend - family excursion.
And one day, I have not decided which one yet, I have to move the last things from my apartment.
*Wednesday evening is OK after 21.30

Yeah it was fun Glacerenard was just overpowered from my agony, necromancy and other healing/regeneration abilities.
Oh and btw Glacerenard, ultimate abilities were not allowed I wondered a little when you casted Father sky's wrath, what the hell was that?

In those kind of games arcane ward and available artifacts can play a greater role than your tactical skill. Sometimes you think what am I doing wrong but the problem lies elsewhere, outside of the battle
Cheating, are we glacerend?

Do we have to get the videos up particularly fast? Drus and I are supposed to duel tomorrow, but I intended to upload it more around friday.
Also, just to throw this out there, Glacerenard is litterally french for Icefox.
