[QUOTE="Zenon, post: 275400, member: 352"] If teleporting bad guys can be everywhere, then why aren't ours tearing the heart out of the Vallorean Empire as we speak? Answer: They can't because there's somebody there minding the store. Not that they're high level, but they can raise an alarm. The near instantaneous communication package of the Vallorean infantry can be used to call in support [i]within rounds[/i] if a threat is detected. V. Army regular: "We have demons at Point Bravo!" High Level Mage: "Wait One." Cast Mass Teleport on Epic Ready Response Team. (Epic Team arrives within two rounds (12 seconds), kicks demon butt and takes names) V. Army regular: "Wow, that was fast!" How can we stop this from happening? The Vallorean army regulars are the intelligence gathering organs of the Vallorean army. Scry won't cut it. It doesn't last long enough. It takes an hour to cast. The Valloreans rely on real-time reports from the field to dispatch forces to deal with the threat. You can't raise crops or settle an area if nobody is there to protect you from the more mundane threats other than teleporting death squads. Things like the werewolf, vampire spawn, our own low level troops, etc. Does this explaination help any? [/QUOTE]
