Let’s Replay Lords of Magic SE (Balkoth) #07: The Ballad of Briago
While it is possible to complete the game with any lord from any faction, some have an easier time than others due to being better suited to their role. A good warrior lord needs high attack, defence and hit points, a good thief lord needs high missile damage and attack speed, good stealth, fast movement speed and passable defence and hit points while a wizard lord needs a lot of mana and powerful spells. One example of a great lord is the air thief lord, for are very fast, have a great ranged attack and can even fly.
Then there’s the earth thief lord.
Thieves of earth have low attack and defence, middling health and passable ranged attacks and stealth but what makes them really bad is their movement speed. They, like most of the units of their faction, are exceptionally slow and thus suited towards a defensive play style where the enemy comes to them. Their lack of movement speed makes it very difficult to catch up to people you want to capture and interrogate – a mechanic I’ve yet to use but may do so in this run – reducing them to a champion with an okay ranged attack. I managed to complete the game as an earth thief lord once but let me assure you that my lord was more a hindrance than a help.
Now consider that the champions have even lower stats than the lords and you will realise just how weak Briago is, a true underdog in this tale of conquest and woe.
