Re: The Ninth Age
Frankly, I understand most of the changes. Let's see: -Dragon Princes @ S4: the original intention, I believe, was to further differentiate them from SH (many people complained that the differences were too small). However, as they were, they might have been a bit too cheap. They may have gone way t...

Re: The Ninth Age
I disagree. Dragon Princess are far better as our own heavy cavalry and can punch far harder than Silver Helms ever could. Silver Helms are medium cavalry that powergamers reduced to delivery system for their characters. Dragon Princes (and Swordmasters) suffered more from the fact there were more ...

Re: Elves of Light - first impressions
First on, on parry: Parry can only be used if on foot, against attacks from the front. Attacks allocated at a model with parry suffer a -1 penalty when rolling To Hit, which cannot be combined with any other negative to hit modifiers. From what I'm reading, it doesn't specify "close combat"...

Re: Welcome to the 9th Age
Depends on who's given access to flails. Gotta say, though, I thought the same.
I'm quite liking the rules in general. There are a bunch of gems there. I quite like champions allowing the unit to charge a minimum of 4, for example.

Re: Fan 9e is looking pretty good.
I rather like 9th age, and I'm following their changes with a fair bit of interest. From my understanding, the aid effect is only for dispelling. I quite liked it, it makes taking multiple small wizards viable, at least from a defensive point of view. Taking a lord level mage is less mandatory that ...

Damn right I'd use it, and wouldn't mind paying as well. Of course, it depends on how many people would use it, though. I personally would go for a mixed approach: something like the basic features (find players nearby and basic filters and such) for free, and include other features, such as, say, s...

I can't really say much, because I do not participate in the ETC tournament itself, and my lists tend to hover around 1-3 choices under the hardest comps when I play ETC battles (RBTs, sometimes 3+ mounted characters, and now and then a star dragon). But as other people have said before it doesn't m...
