What?

Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide shot selection!

Re: Wave 11 Boosters

The elementals look like they have real anti rat capability's, the wind element keeps the rats from getting adjacent as easily, the earth element has a special attack which can wreck multiple rats and doesn't activate scatter, the fire element has a way of killing rats which doesn't activate scatter either, and then the water element could be potentially used to water tunnel up behind the rat screen and attack the ranged units behind the rat screen. hmm, sounds like it has potential after Kurrok gets released guess we will just have to wait and see.

I'm thinking he was worried about a wyvern placing a picked up figure in lava.

I'd say auto killing (okay 5% survival) a full life medium or small full life hero would be broken.

Fixed. Depending on how many lava-adjacent-zero level tiles you've got, it can be pretty easy to just make sure that you keep Raelin or whoever far enough away from said spot that a Wyvern can't snatch and molten lava dunk someone.

This is half the reason I made Burn Gully, guys.

Yes, that's why I said don't build your map with molten lava on the same level as surrounding land terrain.

As long as your molten lava is below the adjacent land hexes, the Wyvern can't dump them in it.

I guess if you had a map where the lava tiles didn't have any pieces surrounding them you might be giving the wyvern an opportunity. Otherwise wouldn't the wyvern have to land in the lava with the figure to drop him in the lava? It's not enough for the lava to be at the same level, it has to be at the same level and adjacent to the wyvern.

ah - ninja'd.

(I can't say I've ever played on a map where lava/water/ice wasn't "contained" by surrounding pieces except at the edge of the board. I guess now that I think about it, it's possible to make a map like that - we do it with the shadow tiles - I just never have.)

Then again there is nothing more satisifying than throw krav agent into lava.

Edit -

For all you Marvel lovers - you can use the Earth Elemental as the Thing!
You can use Gilbert, if you roll enough to move knights or whatever within 2 spaces of it, you can then use the Knights actual turn to complete the adjacency.

I also think the existence of the Air Elemental in the draft, especially once the Elementalist gets released, will improve the desirability of large melee figures. The Air Elemental can't do anything about Templar, Deathstalkers, Brunak, etc.
I think the Knights actually just took a step up, in a way, over other melee units. With Gilbert, they have a chance, but others are really hurt by this. (Seems like mixing in a little range continues to be a good idea, increasingly so.)

That is a fun map. Nice to get (half) the backstory .
