If u play them right maybe personally I think mirefolk are the strongest. Imo Salamans can be weak late game.
Weak late game is bang on the money. You need to put it to bed mid-game before you run out of equips/relics. Low cost equips like pulsating globule counter this to some extent though.
Ye I feel u but with so much shatter options some factions are difficult to beat. Plus u have to build up your Salaman squad before u can play them to the fullest and before u know it it's mid game already. Still I'm no expert on salamas playd them just a couple of times
Btw what is your take on the relics in Salaman Bg ? Think I'll give it a shoot when I'm back from my vacation.
Font of Restoration - Love it, but expensive Nora Pearls - 100% Pond of Lillies - Great font contester, with some bonus effects Sacred Temple - I use in conjunction with pulsating globs Spirit Altar - Auto I've tried the other stuff, but have settled on the above.
Firk are also top notch, but salaman keep the enemy off-balance more. Also, I prefer FS/KF or FS/IS salaman to FF FS salaman. The quality of equipment and relics is just so much higher.
Man, I have to disagree with your splits being better. Twisted Emerald Golden Sand Poison Dart Assassination Hat Relics... erm... ok, maybe.
FS/IS Salaman was the best version I saw. But unless things have changed Mirefolk Bane Shift on Salaman.
Firk Hoppers salaman and mirefolk are all really damn good. I love that we're in a period of the game now when u can go to any faction and say there are about 4 or 5 different good themes.
qft. I like to complain a lot (although I don't do it much lately), but Sok is really the best thing to have happened to Pox balance. Now if he could aquire my fervent hate for randomness ... that would be peachy.
