Chorus Master/Slave

[Noble Ten]

I am in the middle of a MA Man game. And I heard/seen about new specific spells such as Chorus slave and master.

But I dont know how it really works, Can someone explain to me what good does it do and how I go to setting it up effecienty ? I assume it's best to set it up rather than letting the AI handle it by itself on auto pilot.

I could do trial and error, but I think it would be helpful and less time consuming if it can be explained to me here by those who know how exactly it works. Help is appreciated :3

It works the same way as communion/sabbat spells.

There's one difference. With the chorus thing the slaves drop out of the communion when they reach a certain fatigue. Don't remember the number.

But while you can't kill them with a communion, you also can't take advantage of that juicy regen it'd otherwise be possible to do with them easily, which would make them last a long time in communion.

Oh no. I was hoping this fiddly stuff would be removed. Communions are the worst most annoying mechanic.

@5 Bears On Patrol as for me it is most interesting and uniq mechanic in the game. But yes, it takes a lot of micromanagement.

Well, given the recent additions to the game have been a new Communion type for Man, a new nation that has automatic Communion slaves and Masters as recruitables, and a nation that can summon immobile Communion slaves for its forts, I don't think they will be taking Communions out any time soon.

how would one set up a Communion, do you let the slaves cast to or only the master? playing MA Maringon atm and fiddle around with the 2F 1AS mages

Only the master is able to cast spells and receives extra magic path bonus for all its current paths for every Log2(N) slaves. Meanwhile the slaves will receive most of the fatique.
The fatique amount the slaves gain will be affected by the path level of communion masters and themselves. A communion master that casts E spells while the communion slaves don't have any E paths will receive great deal of fatique while slaves with matching E path would receive significantly less.
If the slaves have higher path level than the master, the fatique they receive will be halved.


There is some calculators that have been mae to calculate the communion fatique distribution, althought some of them may be outdated.
