I agree that we know Wanda is insanely powerful
but, for all we know, that could just be the fact that she is a very powerful Croakamancer, not that she just is a Croakamancer.
Personally, I believe that Croakamancers ability to summon more soldiers is a definant advantage, and that they should have very few other spells, but at least one damageing spell
Casters should essentially by directly controlled as characters by the player. Each side should only really have a few casters, and the players should learn not to risk them in potentially harmful ventures. Casters should level up after each surrvived battle, and possibly a multi-class caster. When a caster levels up, there could be a few stats to distribute points to (more juice? more effective damage spells? etc.)
Just a few ideas i brewed up while trying to make this myself about a month back. you guys dont have to listen to any of this
I agree that we know Wanda is insanely powerful
but, for all we know, that could just be the fact that she is a very powerful Croakamancer, not that she just is a Croakamancer.
I think it might be explicitly mentioned that she's a master-class Croakamancer. Can't be bothered to dig up a link though.
If it's not explicitly mentioned, it's certainly implied. It's clear that Wanda was a favorite of Stanley's as he calls on her to frequently revive things (while Sizemore is put on menial tasks). It's also implied when she revives all the dead Jetstone soldiers in the entire city zone after the failed attack through the old Gobwin Knob's tunnels, which all last only one turn. (The trade-off being that you can have longer-lasting undead at the cost of having fewer of them.)
Okay, I finally got around to putting up a list of spells. How do you like it? Any reference to the mysterious variable "L" is actually a reference to the caster's level.
