What's going on in your game?

[pantaloons]

Starting at unknown, issue 4 Missy Wonderful is killed by Death Eagle while patrolling with me, issue 5 Jet Stream is killed General Villiany patrolling with me, issue 6 Mrs. Wonderful is killed by King Midas and Death Eagle patrolling with me.

Not doing so well

Playing the early stages of my database where New York is quarantined due to Tsunami attacks. The game isn't nearly as fun when there are eighteen people in town.

Oh god, what have I done. I think I have just made Merlin nearly undefeatable.

If there is a lack of one type of villain in the game, it is those which have great attributes for both Magical & Agility. Merlin starts awesome at magic which has got me up to legendary status, however I had struggled up until now taking down people like Michael Mordred who can match me magically. With my hero points that came about the time I reached legendary (9000 for reaching legendary, and whatever I recieved for winning 100 fights), I upgraded many of my attributes, and created a very dangerous physical impact explosive (which rolls against the opponents agility). Next turn I hunted down my feared enemy Michael Mordred and crushed him with my new attack dubbed Merlin's Exploding Ball.

Pretty sure that unless I run up Mount Olympus and try to attack Zues I am pretty much set to rule whatever game area I so choose. (I am pretty tempted to go to Boom Town to pit myself against Cape Killer soon.)

In non-related matters:



HELL YES

I'm working on that, as I said, I'm going to train him up and see if I can get him to be decent, though holy Hell, it takes a lot of grinding the civil and training options.

I think the time scale is random, but assuming they aren't Deceased (Permanent) they do come back, as evidenced by the fact there exists a Deceased (Permanent) option at all. They even return for a variety of (fun) comic book reasons too (I won't spoil them for you by posting any).

Yep, I finally started seeing people getting revived.

Yes, Merlin is quite awesome. I added a fireball attack to help deal with those other pesky magic users as it seems they all have one already. Well not a fireball exactly but a range attack that rolls against Agility and not Magic.

Played as Merlin in my first game and now it's hard to play as anyone else. Being able to spam your attack/stun not stop because you have unlimited energy, and having almost every attack blocked by your clones makes Merlin overpowered.

Worst thing about playing as Merlin is you never get government offers because he starts with 10 abilities default. I was thinking about lowering Merlin down a bit in all areas and starting with him again, as I think there is only one or two other male magic users and I don't recall them appealing to me as much as Merlin. If a character expansion is ever made, more magic users are needed.

You really don't need to be that powerful to beat Cape Killer!



All you need is a cheap stun and some friends!

Also Kid Canada is a ladies man or something, every single time I team fight some girl gets friendly with him.

I has no friends, all I can manage is one other person, not sure how to get more then just one person to help me with my deals.

[James Casey]

Kid Canada appears to be the Infinityverse equivalent of Chuck Norris and George Clooney rolled into one - with added masked goodness. Oddly, he's not all that powerful... but in my game at least he always seems to win his fights. And now he's in Ravenholme. I may have to go make friends...

[Comradebot]

City Sweeper, level two anti-hero out on a patrol....





And holy crap, I bump into Greivance, a level EIGHT villain?! And I'm all alone?!!











No problem.

[Sudo_Nym]

Haha! Just took out Cape Killer! Took the entire Nuclear Family to do it, and Big Chill went down. Natural Target makes him such a great team mate

[pantaloons]

Started a new game as Improbable Man. First thing I do is try to make a friend. I get rejected and ambushed by Cape Killer.

*sigh

[Sudo_Nym]

BTW, Mister Meltdown is really awesome, once you get his Reaction and Agility up enough to fight alongside the big boys .

[Moe Hunter]

So I was flirting with Lady America, and it wasn't going very far. Eventually I decide to turn towards Ellie Mental. LA gets mad at that, but things are going much better with Ellie.

Then one night LA asks me to go on patrol with her (we're still friends, it's cool) - the plot we come across is that Ellie Mental has been swayed by the villains (she is a Wild Card after all) - so it's me and my former interest against Harmonix and my current interest. Turns out Prince Amass is behind this scheme. EM comes to her senses.


BTW, I would kinda prefer if romance wasn't magically always out in the open. As soon as I approached EM, LA got pissed. To me it would make more sense to be able to keep several relationships going compartmentalised (how many girls does Batman have on the side, even if it's just flirting?) - and then much like secret identities, have a chance for any multiple relationships to be exposed.

If other heroes (or villains) notice your activities, or if you're teaming up with one of the people you're involved with, body language might give you away to others... But it seems weird to me that everything's instant - also, there doesn't seem to be any way to have one relationship as your hero persona and one as your civillian identity - like Peter Parker dating MJ while Spidey is getting all of Black Cat's attentions.

No problem.

City Sweeper is a beast. I've tried to pal up with him as Rachel Noir twice and got thrashed as a result. Crazy paranoid ex-mil guy :/

Speaking of Noir, I managed to beat Greivance with her and Risktaker (the only other Ravenholmian crimefighter who will actually hang out with her) with FIVE HP LEFT on Noir.

You want a real challenge? Try Money Spyder for size. She's actually harder to beat than Greivance.

[Oregano Jensen]

Yeah -- for level 8, Grievance is a chump. Big tank who doesn't really have any means of keeping you from hitting him. Provided you can dodge his attacks at least sometimes, there's no reason not to take him down...

...though doing it solo with a level 2 guy is fairly impressive.
