Body Armour as Celts

ShadeOfWar Apprentice Member # 5651	written Thursday, May 25 2006 03:04 Profile #0 Equip Armour: Failed. Young Celtic warriors didn't wear body armour. I'm assuming I remain young throughout the game? :P And that being the case, is there any point at all to keeping the best chain mail I find? Can I recruit Romans in Vanarium? Are they any good? I haven't been to Vanarium yet, you see - I have not yet been able to bring myself to dare the long darkness of the path of the Ritual of... Nethergate was there before OS X, and it remains the most expensive Spiderweb game. The different atmosphere is probably worth it, though. (This is a reference to part 3 of Jeff's The View From Below or whatever the name was.) Cormac the Druid, the "ancient" wise woman in the creepy corner of Nethergate, the three crones and their dungeon, Pearlblossom. Even the hermits, ffs... There is nothing more valorous than challenging the mainstream! Reassurances, -SoW [ Thursday, May 25, 2006 03:09: Message edited by: ShadeOfWar ] -------------------- In D&D there are lots of gods.

There is no way to make your Celt Warriors/Druids wear body armor. Posts: 363 | Registered: Wednesday, February 22 2006 08:00

The Romans need the extra character to make spells a viable option, but the Celts can mix melee with magic quite effectively already. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know? Posts: 2864 | Registered: Monday, September 8 2003 07:00
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Thursday, May 25 2006 10:42 Profile Homepage #3 Actually, all the characters recruited in Vanarium can wear armor. That includes the two Celts, one of whom will join a band of Celts and the other of whom will only join Romans. Go figure. I agree that the Celts have less need of a fifth character, though. Your only choice is another fighter of some kind, and that fifth character is stuck in the back. With armor, the character will also be slower. That means that fifth character won't get into the battle until your lead bashers have already torn your enemies to pieces, usually. —Alorael, who was occasionally saved by having a breathing, armored body interposed between certain death from behind and his druids.

He has promised some sort of OS change, new content, and maybe some other things. -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon Well, I'm at least pretty Posts: 1115 | Registered: Sunday, May 15 2005 07:00

Unless you're going to get an Intel Mac soon and won't be able to run Classic at all, I highly recommend Nethergate now instead of some nebulous superior Nethergate at an indeterminate time in the future. —Alorael, who need not mention the collector's value of the original Nethergate. Why, some people might be willing to pay $30 for it some day! Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
