Evil Outpost Woes
« on: September 30, 2011, 12:01:05 am »
Good. God. Almighty. Evil outposts are evil.

I'm civ level 14, so when I finally ran across my first evil outpost (which happened to be level 10) I figured "Hey, easy day!"

Not so.

Inside the evil outpost are locked doors, and you need to find a switch to open them. I found the switch and turned it on, which immediately turned on 10 space shuttles worth of fire blasting down on my head. I quickly switched from bat form to human and put on a heat suit, but that did nothing. I died in 3 seconds trying to get back to the door.

Help?

I had the same thing happen to me. I think that you are supposed to destroy the jets with fire touch or a similar object-destroying spell before hitting the switch

Oh yeah, lava booby-traps are evil. Not all switches are booby-trapped though. Plus, you can destroy the traps that release the lava so you don't die when you hit the switch. I suppose you could try hitting the switch and then really quickly warping out of there.


The first time I ran into that I purposefully didn't destroy the traps to see what would happen. I actually managed to make it out alive, but this was back when potions saved you from death and didn't have a cool down, I think it took like 15 potions though to make it out alive.

Destroy them.  :o  Why did that not occur to me?

Wow! So I managed to make my way thru the evil outpost, thanks to your comments, and happened upon the lieutenant. I'm not sure what they're called, but it was one of the floating balls of light that shoots fire. 80,000 hit points (and about 10 minutes) later, I finally managed to beat him. The trick, other than having about 5-10 health and mana potions on hand, was to switch to bat form and strategically place platforms all over the center of the room. Then I switched back to human form and jumped from platform to platform firing everything I had at the boss while doing my best to avoid the fireballs.

So, I managed to get a potion out of the deal, and that was about it. Bit of an anti-climactic moment, but the fight was pretty epic  8)

We're planning on adding some loot, especially to the bigger bosses like the lieutenants and the overlords.
