In cheerier news, the Shining Force mage-run is steamrolling the opposition, and I could probably beat the final chapters with my current team. Only stall right now is grinding up Alef, Torasu, and *pained wince* Adam. The latter is less of a unit and more of a sustained trolling attempt by the developers.

The pertinent points:

A) He's a robot!
B) He's a robot with less Attack than the mages of equivalent level.
C) He cannot equip weapons.
D) He has 4 Move, so you can't even really give him the Power Ring unless you really plan on having stronger units stall for him...
E) He comes at level 10, when ideal promotion is at 20.
F) He comes in the very late-game (midway through Chapter 7/8).

However, I've committed to using certain units, so I'll use him. And then I can brag that I've actually used Adam, and I'll never have to use him again. 8D *TWITCH*

Okay, now for the less whiny information.

No, wait, that's this link. Ahem. I meant:

You have Civilization IV economics...
It turns into two cows...
The cows turn spherical...
And then they move to California.

That sound better? :P
