Re: Dragons still viable?
We could actually field quite the airforce now that would be a real pain to deal with; 3 phoenixes from rare, eagles from special, ancient dragon, griffon hero and maybe 2 lvl2s bunkering in some coastal guard. Or does each phoenix count as a duplicate regardless of type? Phoenixes are a single ent...

Hi Swordmaster, Thanks for replying. :) I don't want to derail your blog too much, but it wouldn't be polite to not answer you, so here I go! 1.

Re: MSU HE - KoW - 2000 vs Forces of Abyss - 5.12 - Round 3
Hi Swordmaster! Thanks for that report. Though I know very little about KoW (mainly the principles you explained) and it makes it hard to predict the outcome of the game (I have no idea about the result of straight unit match ups...), it's still nice and entertaining to read. How do you feel about t...

Re: MSU HE - good bye 9th Age, Moving to KoW
Sad to read this, SM, although I do understand you. There's a lot that could be said about the 9th Age, both positive and negative - I know I'll stick to it because no other game attracts me at the moment. And yet, I have the feeling that the project is failing in reaching a number of goals it had (...

Re: 9th highborn musings
In general, I think it's interesting to see that the 9th age is facing many of the dillema's GW ran into. How do you make infantry viable without taking them over the top? How do you balance cannons vs monster? How do you ensure both internal and external balance for armies. I have good hope that t...

Re: ETC 2016 Votes for 9th Age
After all, the game is made for the 'mediocre' players (there is a lot more of them) and it needs to be balanced for them. Thanks for writing this. It seems to be forgotten too often, and no, balancing the game for to top 20 players in the planet does not necessarily means it's balanced (or fun) fo...

I believe this KB rule is fine as is. True, D3 W against monstrous stuff would be more useful, but I believe it would actually be too good for the points - those 24 attacks you talk about, Rod, would kill two demigryphs in a round. With the points costs in the alpha version, demis a 65 points, so yo...

Re: Overrunning issues
It depends. If the red, engaged unit flees to the left, both blue units can pursue. Check the distance between them and the other red unit, and if their pursue is enough, they can charge that one. If the unit is wiped out, the rightmost unit can't overrun due to the other blue unit blocking it, unle...

It shouldn't stack. The definition of Loci in the Daemons book (p26) states that "if a unit is affected by more than one Loci, only the most powerful takes effect, the rules of the others are ignored". [translated from French] Obviously, this is easy to apply for the 3 different types of L...
