I don't understand Resoln

from Elemental Forums

I've seen people claim that this faction is the most fun in the game, but I really don't understand at all what they're supposed to do, other than just die horribly.

 

I get that they're supposed to be the "weird units" faction, but those "weird units" are just blatantly worse than what the other factions can do.  Summon Familiar is great if you've got a ton of mana, worthless otherwise, and the game insists on always placing it at the very front of your formations in battle.  Spiders cost ridiculous mana, and really are worse than spearmen with leather armor; sure, web lets you cheese some fights, but those are mostly easily winnable fights; against anything with more than two unit groups, the Resoln army totally sucks.  Spiders perform much worse than trained troops against units that can actually fight, rather than being stuck in a web.  And then when you lose your army in a fight (since your army is complete crap, it's a lot more likely to happen to this faction), you can't actually rebuild it, since losing a fight usually goes along with spending all of your mana trying to win it.  Sure, Infection is nice, but you're relying on tactical spells to do more-or-less what the other factions do (and do better) for no mana, which means fewer and weaker strategic spells.

 

It seems to me that if you want a "magic-user" faction, Pariden is just a superior choice in every single regard.

LOL! That was funny! ^_^

But I agree. Some people are too obsessed with "balance", I would say there are even balance fundamentalists.

Well, I somehow managed to pull an SoM win out of my ass in that Resoln game.

 

The AI really should be more careful about accepting tribute.  Kraxis could have at least slowed me down by taking my only air shard, had he not been dumb enough to accept tribute once the Forge was up.

Greater demons are unlocked with the Ereog's Journal Tech. Yes, the games been a hoot. (hoot = great fun). Little crow demon to greater crow demon: "How do I get to be big and strong like you." "Is easy Crow my lad, just wait for the leader to cast grave-yada on the enemy, then fly up and lighting land next to them. You and a buddy can kill almost anything that way. Little crow replies, "Yes, but its so hard, cause the Cyndummy demons are always trying to hit first." LOL. Hand a riot in very early game, my sov, and a mixed crew of level one shard-lings ran into a horror! A big bear and two cubs! Normally this is, watch them maul my troops to shreds. But a big chasm was in between us and them. So ol grave-shardling guarded the approach, (takes a lot of mauling to take em down). Boss cast grave-yada. Then two crow demons, little guys, but happy, dropped in next to the bears, with a lighting landing. When the electricity cleared, no more bears. Wow, there are lots of fun combos to try with Resolyn - wish I had played that position sooner. Thanks for all the tips.
