The winner of the best relic goes to
(Villagers move 10% faster)
It seemed inevitable that a relic affecting villagers would win. Some other ones achieved a decent amount of points but this relic blew the competition out of the water. Speed is of the essence in any game, and it seems fitting that a relic involving that would win, especially one affecting economy.
2nd place: Scarab Pendant (Siege damage multiplier against buildings increased by 1, effectively doubling attack)
3rd: Oseburg Wagon (Caravans cost 25% less and move 15% faster)
Relics which we don't even bother getting:
Harter's Folly (Scouting units have 2 more LOS)
Gaia's Book of Knowledge (Infantry do 300% more damage against Titans)
Game Over!
Feel free to comment with any opinions on the results.
Hey gang,
This is a Hurt/Heal game, and if you haven't played it before, all you need to do is tell me which relics you want to give positive or negative points to (good or bad).
You can only hurt/heal up to 5 relics at a time, adding or subtracting up to 3 points each, however the total amount of points you're either adding or subtracting
-3 A Pair of Golden Lions
+1 Catoblepas' Scales
+1 Fetters of Fenrir
-1 Khopesh of Horus
+2 Harter's Folly
You are only allowed to post again after 2 other people have posted theirs after you. Feel free to persuade others to change their mind.
Relics are eliminated at -10. The game keeps going until we are either left with one relic, a relic has obviously won because of a huge number, or the thread becomes inactive.
