    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.

    Those are acceptable, but compared to forge hammer they all look kind of crappy.

    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.
