Title, no reason a god power of equal strength should cost less, also the snakes have no nest to kill.
Ancestor should be 200 favor on 2nd cost, it comes an an age longer and is way stronger then scorpion nest. Why are they both 100 favor. Makes absolutely no sense.
Couldnt it be that scorpion nest recast could be Cheaper?
Do you wanna nerf those GPs recast because they seem to be to be overperforming or are usually recasted?
As to the power comparison, Plague of serpents does not have a nest, and the units are all given to you instantly, that is true. However you are not taking into account you can actually control the scorpion units which is big.
Ancestors on the other hand is stronger unit wise and you can control them, but its also not permanent, so theres trade offs.
Personally i dont see neither of this 3 god powers being recasted frequently to nerf any of them on their recast cost, but would be interesting to see if other people have.
No, just gut those two overperformers. They can also gut Egypts free passive favor generation down to Aztec level.
Are they overperforming? And if they are, is it the second time they are used?
Cause you can make the recast 1000 favor and it wont matter if they are rarely ever used more than once, which is currently the case. From my experience at least.
Would also need to create and implement 2 extra ways to get favor for eggy to match aztecs gather rates in that case no?
Curious, eggy the only issue in this dynamic? Wouldnt atty passive favor thats even better than eggy be an issue as well? Or greek praying? Or mikos? Or china btw that ones passive gathering is also higher.
Attys passive favor that requires you to control half the map, are you joking or serious?
You’re an Isis and Ra main trying to defend your crutch.
Even the pros agree , egypt is overtuned at the top level.
China? Passive map control only higher if you winning, ie win more.
Any Egyptian can build 6 favor and turtle, you can’t generate favor and be disrupted so easily. Overlapping lowering favor gen mechanic from atlantean should be added to egyptians.
After all, atlanteans used to have save TC favor generation.
Atty dont need to be full oracles to compete, and map control also isnt an issue for them for the most part
Not really, i Just dont think your change would matter at all for what you belief it does, since those god powers are not recasted. Its def not helping scorpion nest which you seem to be comparing them to.
You did call me a nuwa one trick before, you should really get your story straight. Ra doesnt even have serpents or Ancestors, you dont make much sense calling out i play Ra.
Heads up, i play all gods, ofc some more than others, so you Will have a Hard time to sustain those call outs.
Not because of plague of serpents or Ancestors recast, imo at least, im very open to see otherwise, havent really had a game in mind where serpents / Ancestors is Just recasted as part of a strategy and that takes the win, its usually Just the initial value from the free cast.
Eggy is very strong due to its timings, how it kinda cheats age ups due to not needing wood at all unless specific units (Slingers and chariot archers) and specific to isis her god power blocking bonus and extra resources from prosperity, which you Will see be referenced time and time again during god recaps in tierlists, tourney matches, game analysis, etc.
But its interesting you found something other players didnt about why they are strong.
Would be interesting to see some game where snake or Ancestors was recasted and that was the turning point.
Do you even know the max passive aztec favor income you can get? And how many vills you need to sacrifice to get there?
Compare that to how much you need to invest with china (which i also play if you wanna play that lame card). China has a much easier time reaching those numbers.
Sure but thats not cheap at all nor viable.
Ancestors are perfectly balanced. As for the serpents, they’re a completely useless ability. Most players only use them to idle villagers, and only once. Scorpion creates a lot of value when defending against cavalry raids. Give it a try sometime.
