What enemies would be in a “Realistic” Pale Ones Run?
Before I ask anything, I love this game and its lore so much that I’ve decided to make a funny video, but I wanted to do something kinda different. I’m not that good, so playing a super maxed out difficulty might be fun, but I wanted also to pick out enemies that would realistically be at the “beginning” or during the Dark Ages. I got the Maharaja, Dryads, Cloud Lord, and Warlocks for thematic purposes (they show up start using gems and getting everyone all riled up).
I was thinking Barbar would be a good “not anyone’s friend” faction that honestly could show up at any time. Also maybe teaming up certain groups and being the only faction that just wants everything to go back to bed would be cool. Could even add in demonologies for messing with the portal that gets mentioned in Pale One lore. I would love to make all kinds of vids of “canon” battles since I always thought that there is enough cool and interesting stuff that you could make you’re own storylines with all kinds of conflicting timelines and it would still work! I’m a writer so I can’t help but be like “yeah I could do something busted, or meta, but what about the weirdos? What’s the story?” If there was a faction of just lizard people I’d have probably picked them lol.
Also from what I’ve seen the tier list is more of a “how much does it rely on rng to work” type of question, or am I just crazy? I played a lot of northgard and fighting games where the list was telling you who is even viable vs who is burdened with being actually balanced and mortal. Are the Pale Ones considered busted and I just didn’t know? They are fun but they aren’t reward-you-for-dying like necro can be (unless you get you one of the diamond using big boys).
TLDR; who would be scrapping with the Pale Ones in the dark ages considering the lore of Elysium?
