Mixing Super Scape With Classic Scape

[Lazy Orang]

A discussion on broken combos, and you haven't mentioned Professor X, Magma and Magneto II? IMO that's the most broken combo C3G's put out! Not that it bothers me - I play casually.

Molten lava is broken.

[Drewman-chu]

So the rule of thumb is don't play with molten lava you might get burned

Well met!

I still fondly remember chas' Volcano scenario with increasing amounts of flowing Molten Lava - and my Wyvern Talon Grabbing Vydar's Flag Bearer, among others, into it!

There is no figure in classic that is broken in the presence of Molten lava.

I suppose one could use Molten lava to break a map on purpose or if they weren't paying attention: they could prevent Melee from reaching range or create a spot for someone like Moltenclaw to be unreachable by Melee that lack Lava Resistance.

But I don't think I've ever seen a map like that. I know I've never played one.

That is to say, no more broken than castles with easily protected ladders--or no ladders at all.

I'll take your word on it. I haven't played classic in years. I find molten lava rules to be ridiculously powerful, though, in general. My only regret with the C3G rewrite of them is that we didn't tone them down enough. If I had a do over, I'd push to adjust the percentages further.

[IAmBatman]

Might just be a matter of, in retrospect, lava being another thing that's just not compatible with Superscape.

[IAmBatman]

I'm going to go ahead and bow out of this conversation now, though. I tend to get too sensitive with these types of discussions, which is no one's fault but my own. Apologies.

So some say "who would argue if it was this way" and I'm saying it would have never been that way.

I agree that Valhallascape probably would never have made characters in the 300-point range, but I thought the discussion here (as it usually is for me) is whether units like that break the game and are thus incompatible with Valhallascape units. My argument is that they don't - that a 320-point Silver Surfer is as effective at what he does as 330 points worth of Minions of Utgar are at what they do.

As kolakoski said, on an objective, empirical level I don't think there's any incompatibility, but there may be one on a subjective, personal level if one simply objects to superheroes or licensed characters.
