Author | Thoughts on Alt Pharoah |
This event seems to be a debut for alt pharaoh. What do you think will be their playstyle? I am very curious to hear your thoughts. |
Topic moved from "Queries and help" to "General game forum". |
Is it known what their center talent can be?
Their elephant looks massive, but depending on available recruitment number :) |
Every lose decrease gold for next win |
looks pretty trash, depends on recruitment numbers but a lot of their units are just worse then regular pharoah. they will need an insanely overloaded racial ability/center talent to make up for the low quality units. something in the realm of how broken wrath tribal is with their racial+center talent |
Important! The number of victories is limited to five per day.
Battles do not carry over or accumulate.
Combat exhaustion is in effect.
The difficulty of the current and all subsequent battles decreases with each unsuccessful attempt, as does the gold reward.
There are no artifact restrictions, however the ancient curse blocks the effect of enchantments. |
Yes, it seems every troop is strictly inferior to those of regular pharaoh. Perhaps there will be strength in numbers of superb faction abilities. |
This is just factually incorrect. Scorpions instead of poison shread armor, which makes them useful at low numbers (1 scorp can shread defense on 5 tribal cyclops)
Phylakites are straight up the best tier 2 unit in the game rn, dare I say better than shrews. The only weakness they have is Adapt.
Jackals are almost the same
Camels are overloaded with abilities
Priestesses have mass chastise
Elephants are straight up bonkers with all the abilities they have. Wide sweep, stomp, they will be AOE machienes and you also cannot reduce their armor because fullmetal.
Judgers are now a support unit, applying judgement to as many units as they can. Judgement + scorp armor shread will make defense irrelevant. |
is alt camel the first unit to have 2 activated abilities? i wonder if we are able to use mobility to move it within 3 ranges of an enemy and then activate quick shots. even with range penalty, it still does 1.5x the normal damage |
i don’t see anything special about the pharaoh alt faction other factions have clear unique stuff like necros raising dead or demons summoning units or dwarves with their runes things that actually define how they play in battle pharaoh just feels flat the holy and darkness mix isn’t enough to make it stand out or fun to play |
