or if you keep the scales but take magic 0 + a wizard tower . with pythium this otherwise bad choice is a good early game booster .
you have already damn good researchers with your everywhere buildable theurgs .

edit :
oh and btw i see no reason why ermor may take no nerfed down vq anymore .
together with the nerfing down of the healing orders on titans that decreases ermor from a funny and very thematical nation to a garbage nation .

you can basically exchange pythium with arco .

finally caelum is a great vq race too .

Well, I've already sent my pretender file. I chose Earth Mother and I'm planning on going with high Order (for CW) and I suppose I'll use Revelers, indies, and summons too, rather than the Turmoil/Menaed strategy.

I plan on using stealth tactics as well since the civ is obviously well suited for it. I'll be running plenty of specs ops deepin enemy territory, cutting off supply lines and such. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Newbie questions
 

Great Mother isn't a good SC choice IMO, due to the trampling skill.
It could be useful against indipendant provinces, but later it's almost worthless.

Same for Stymphalian Wings, due to trample.
A smaller SC can take out easily the trampling one since the trampler doesn't use his draining life weapon.

Usually if the SC doesn't fly by it's own, the combo is Jade Armor (unless he's natural water magic) and Winged Shoes.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Great Mother was chosen because she fits the Pangaea theme, RP-wise. I don't have a snowball's chance in hell to win this game so I'm just gonna have fun with it and try to learn a thing or two for future games. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
