Nah... ANCIENT would be if I were commenting about POOL of RADIANCE. My First game of this ilk that I played in 1993. It got me hooked. Then I ran into a Sid Meiers game and discovered I was a gamer.
Well I was searching on Prince Kymar about three days into starting to play the game. Came across this comment with follow-ups. Figured I'd at least respond.
It's now been over a weel since I started and from my VAST pool of experience I'll say that you don't WANT Prince Kymar to ever go first. The best play is for all your big damage big buff spells to have cast once and that will allow Kymar's first spell outta the gate is to reset them.
Mine's actually too speedy and when I play him manually I often delay that reset until round 2 so that all my big casters will get their best thrown once.
Being a NEWB I've not figured out yet, how to set the order of operations for my team on auto but getting him to go with something other than his big gun right outta the gate is on my agenda.
