It has been a several years since I played, but wanted to give the game another shot. SP is my favorite faction, but I would like to relearn an Protectorate faction as well. Kf looks to be what I have the most runes with. That being said, could someone work with me on what runes I'd need to collect to get a semi-meta bg for KF to relearn the game with?
http://forums.poxnora.com/index.php?threads/should-i-play-kf.1253/ My two posts there outline a relatively cheap elf-center bg that you can build into a meta bg by making later replacements.
Here are some suggestions for great, cheap runes: Garu Den Mother, Occuli Slag, Centaur Skirmisher, Flamemage of the Circle, Elven Bard, Ghost Stalker, Elven Taskmaster, Colossal Boa, Apprentice Mage Catharsis Bloom, Cleansing Emerald, Nature's Wrath, Reclaim, Vortex, Combined Effort, Withering Fern
