TO WHOEVER MADE MANAVORES

[Herozen]

I HOPE THE OTHER SIDE OF YOUR PILLOW IS STUFFED WITH LEGO AND CATFOOD. NO I WON'T ELABORATE BECAUSE I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO. ♥♥♥♥ THESE PURPLE ♥♥♥♥♥, AND WHOEVER SPAWNED THEM WITH A RUSTY IRON POKER

[MeGa]

They seem to be kinda antifun

[Celery]

This thread is satire right? You clear them instantly with your army.

[Resid R'ashid of the PK]

I love manavoers bc they procreate a lot

[Merluca Kitsokami]

yea but suddenly you have 10+ lvl 6 manavores stacked on top of each other XD

[Theophany]

Just kill them when you get a notification...?
Use the portal spell. If for some reason you don't have it (e.g. the mission with the no spells nor potions achievement), keep 2-3 units always in the dungeon.

Same strategy to deal with hero portals.

I swear it's D3 all over again, people don't use 10% of the tools at their disposal and blame the game for being too hard and unbalanced.

As a Dane, I support more LEGOs. Even in pillows.

That said, manavores are annoying and must be exterminated.

So that's how it joined the choir invisible!

Run into those ♥♥♥♥♥ in the very early stages of starting a dungeon, and you're dead. No rooms yet, no research done, no money, and hey presto, you have 2 or three manavores that ice Thalya and feed faster than you can spawn an army.

ANNOYING mechanic.

[intenselygoodtime]

I just don't dig mana areas unless my army is already unoccupied downstairs -- they're such a distraction.

Portaling to deal with Manavores = annoying chore
Portaling to deal with the few Heroes that survived the trap tunnel = worthwhile
Portaling because this level's script has spiders/something that chew through any wall you build, regardless of your design = annoying chore

[Thats How We do action in Uganda]

Thats why we cant have interesting mechanics/enemies there will be allways some casual crybabies.

just pick up the mana?
there are even very creative ways of keeping them around fed and leveled at the dungeon entrance and they will fight heroes for you.

if you may notice: they only become enraged when being attacked

Absolutely agreed on picking up the mana as soon as the notification pops; otherwise it's wasted.
But (at least in the last ~2 patches), they go running toward your rooms shortly afterward -- presumably, to where the next balls of mana are stored. I haven't tinkered with it enough to determine if they'll follow a trail to a trap tunnel or not; it's just faster to kill them and get back to the raiding.
