delilah might be a little too OP'd... There are a LOT of warrior class heroes.

Other than that, great job!

All this and no Goliath Ideas?

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #3 on:** October 07, 2009, 06:57:19 PM »

I made Delilah powerful, but not OP I think. There's no way to protect a Philistine from an AoCP bomb, AotL, or anything else except Holy Grail (but come on, Altar of Dagon?) except KotW, which is easily targeted itself. I mean she was responsible for the capture and death of the worlds strongest Judge/Warrior.

@Smokey, Goliath has been done to death. FbtN, defensive battle-challenges, make him WC, whatever. Making card ideas for Goliath at this point is like bringing a model of the solar system to a science fair.

Love those two. Right now with TeP, I think that if this came out everybody would be playing philly's lol but I did it just so i can try and learn more of the combo's and stuff
I would def put bringing war in my deck for sure. Dagon too.

lightningninja · « **Reply #6 on:** October 07, 2009, 09:49:02 PM »

Yeah... but they have Philistine Outpost. To give them protection AND philistine Outpost... I don't know if anyone would use another brigade.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #7 on:** October 07, 2009, 11:03:37 PM »

Delilah, Philistine Prostitute, and Dagon are all OP IMO.

I know I've seen this card idea before. Personally, I don't think Philistines need another character-battle-winner who can be recurred via Outpost.

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #11 on:** October 10, 2009, 11:31:02 AM »

Currently, Philistine's biggest weakness is FbtN. I want to accentuate that with the new cards.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #12 on:** October 10, 2009, 11:35:29 AM »

Is that what the game is trying to do? Accentuate a single weakness of every theme? I thought we were trying to make each theme balanced.

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #13 on:** October 10, 2009, 11:37:01 AM »

It is. Philistines are buck awesome, but weak to FbtN. Brown laughs at FbtN, but they get spanked by TGT. Making each brigade more powerful, but more fallible is a good way to combat power creep.

blaack isn't that bad when used with sites vs FBTN land dispute as a territory enh is so wyn

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #15 on:** October 10, 2009, 03:39:05 PM »

That's sites though, not exactly black. Any time you add sites to the equation it changes dynamics.

lightningninja · « **Reply #16 on:** October 10, 2009, 04:20:03 PM »

Black is week to fbtn? Twelve Fingered Giant? Bringing Fear? Sisera? Simon the Magician?

Black is great against fbtn.

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #17 on:** October 10, 2009, 04:36:36 PM »

Sisera is only good against Moses, and Simon against TSA. Many Black defenses (including mine) don't use them. 12FG isn't good against FbtN, only FbtNB.

Bringing Fear is a fantastic counter to FbtN, but it works only once and isn't guaranteed to stop them. Other than that, Black has a hard time answering FbtN.

lightningninja · « **Reply #18 on:** October 10, 2009, 04:45:09 PM »

How many people use fbtn without banding? I always use banding... which means....

Sisera is also good against Israelite archer, Heldai, and Asahel.
Twelve fingered giant pwns.

Also... They have high characters. A typical non-banding fbtn hero is 8/8, meaning he has to play two multi-enhancements (except sword of the spirit) to match the twelve-fingered giant's 12 defense. Then you can still play bringing fear, babble, land dispute, foolish advice, devourer, and other that all have 3 or more defense.

Overall I'd say it's actually the best against fbtn... well... other than gray.

Brown is nice... but Haman's Plot you have to rip, and dungeon can only be played on king Z. And no one really uses korah with banding.

That's not true, dungeon can be played on anyone. With King Z, it is CBN. A Pole....

What Grey Defense are your referring to?

lightningninja · « **Reply #21 on:** October 11, 2009, 05:36:10 PM »

Naaman, balaam's disobedience, unsuccessful, expelling the jews, the terrifying beast, namaan's chariot and horses (against warrior class), and I believe a few others. It works very well.

Cameron, yes of course but I was saying that in the context of against fbtn. It would only do anything on king zedekiah cause otherwise it's negated.

And A-pole works for every brigade.
