    Lerad is right, except that I believe that diverting just adds ego to their pool (and adds influence resistance), and doesn't SET their ego to a particular level. Let's say that it adds 300 ego and your attack does 600 ego. 

    I, a Serenwilder, sit there for 10 attacks, whittling down the mob's ego to 100. One more hit and I wiiiin! You and a buddy scoot in, divert the mob (Raising its ego to 400) and hit it with one influence (dealing 600 ego damage). The mob is influenced towards your village.  I could sit there all year influencing a mob, slowly hacking away at its ego, but if I don't get the very last hit, I lose.

    In the anecdote mentioned, this is what it seems like happened. It's not so much that they took less hits to influence the mob, it's just that you had already done a lot of the work for them.

    I like peaced revolts, they could be pretty fun and come with their own strategies.

    What I do hate is how unfairly balanced charisma is. Just another thing that makes a Viscanti a joke.

    I was always told that divert reset their ego to full.
    Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.

    Yeah, I just can't say anything that would make viscanti redeemable except that on paper they seem like they'd make great tanky warriors, especially with Putrefaction.

    Plus, the boost to village influencing, even if irontongue can only ever get up to 19 cha, again -seems- to be something that would put them on par with shadowsingers and warblers.

    That doesn't make any sense. How then can someone divert and immediately win a mob (which does happen)? Especially with subsequent influences and diverts increasing the mob's resistance to influencing.

  • When influencing, there are three "stats" that are of relevance:

    Charisma - Affects the eq time for influence attacks, as well as the damage (which is analogous to how str and int affect other damages).
    Prestige - Increases the time it takes before a mob starts resisting your influence attacks.
    Generic "buff" (doesn't have a real name) - Increases the amount of damage done to the mob's ego.

    Various things affect generally one or the other of the latter two categories (though there's an exception or two that affect both).

    While we have your attention, @Ieptix, do different buffs have different weights? For instance, is an influence rune the same power as beast influence, or a hair curio?

  • Different things gives buffs of different sizes, yes.

    Nothing you're flagged in this post is as off-topic as anything else. Why do you ask?

    Normally I wouldn't call bs, but at what point would a divine like, agree, or disagree with my question to Ieptix?

    I find it rather comical how a bug this big was slide under the doorway with a simple changelog. I expected many pitchforks.
