The Best Talents for Skald

[gunnyhighway]

Since most of the Skald talent line is meh I was thinking of making him more Viking based since I have already beat the game impossible mage no loss.

The only things that look nice from Mind is Power of Spirit,Jarl,Leadership,Edda,Tacitics, and maybe favorite of the gods.

Warriors of Vahalla seems kinda worthless since you don't take losses for most part if you play right.

This would leave lots of wiggle room for Rage focus. And then only need very minmal from magic.

What do you all think? Anyone playing their skald this way atm?

Or would it be better to go Viking route and just take the few Skald skills I need?

Anyone know the difference in leadership between Skald and Viking? Is it a huge amount?

Viking starts with 200 and Skald start with 250. Soothsayer 150. Viking makes lvl x 1.5 leadership and Skald lvl x 2, Soothsayer makes lvl x 1 ) So at lvl 30 for example, Viking does 450 while Skald 600 and Soothsayer 300. I hope this helps.

I like Skald more then Viking, mostly because I like to get Learning 3 and Scouting 3 fast. With higher leadership then Viking, I think Skald does overall more damage with his units anyways. The downside is that it takes much longer to get the good stuff from the Might Tree (bloodlust)

Thanks for the info do you know if the Skald has an advantage over the Viking for Mind runes on level up? Not sure if this is the same as in other KB games

I was leaning more towards warrior cause I wanna get more out of ranged units cause on the Soothsayer they seemed really worthless dps wise.

Viking makes like 7 red, 4 green and 1 blue.
Skald makes like 3 red 6 green and 3 blue.
Sooth makes like 2 red 3 green and 7 blue.

These are averages, the actual amount varies a little. This is the same in all KB games.
