Since I can't post on snowbirds forums because for some reason there email confirmation doesn't go through for me I will post this here. What is the deal with rust worlds? I can battle with a scout once before I have to go repair. Now while early in the game it is simply annoying it becomes a task in tedium having to run back and forth to stores in order to repair. Are you trying to force us to play warriors on these maps?

I hear that they disabled registration to decrease amount of negative replies on forum... You can post through steam account without confirmation though.

Rust world, from my point of view - forces you to start with mage or commander. Warrior would have more problems than scout, IMO. Try to get Market with storehouse, isn't very costly.

I thought the warrior had the blacksmith ability that helped slow down decay? I don't care much for the commander maybe I will start the shard as a wizard.

Well, he have. On rust shard with 5th level of this ability you will have same decay as on normal shard without this ability. Thing is, 5th level of this ability you wouldn't be able to get before 10+ level, and breaking armor/weapon during fights would be fatal. Other classes have more magic/troops to overcome this.

I remember once I had problem, got into negative gold and couldn't repair weapon on scout. Won 3 fights by using him as wizard.

Is there a site or manual where i can see what the different Shardsettings do? Like World of Rust = Item decay is faster etc?

Check out the HP of the arrows and you'll see why... My advice is to try and get the heavy arrows as soon as possible, as they have twice the durability. They're readily available if you build the 2nd level archery store.


edit: I don't have MOTBW. Can anyone confirm if this is still the same?

Its worth remembering you can do that with any class.
Spell casting is not the sole domain of the wizard

While this is true one thing to keep in mind is that you should really only use basic BUFFS or positive things for your own guys mostly, as without the Wiz skills to beef up and penetrate the resistance of enemies any negative spells really don't have a lot of effect.

For example the Fear spell on non wiz takes 2 casts to equal the 1 cast it would be with real wiz.
