Re: More praise for Baalz
 

I took Sauromatia for my first MP game. I'm going in a hugely different path than Baalz's guide might suggest... let's see how it plays out!

...and there is no N in Sauromatia.

Re: sauromantia
 

I thought that Vampire Counts were a national summon for LA Ulm...are they available for any other nations besides that and Sauromatia? It seems un-thematic.

That aside, damn Baalz, you write up some good guides!

Re: sauromantia
 

I suppose Baalz meant vampite lords in this instance.

As far as I know vampire counts are indeed Ulm only. The slightly stronger and more expensive vampire lords can be summoned by anyone with the Curse of Blood spell. (Blood7; B3D4; 77 slaves)

Sauromatia also has access to Medusa pretender. With A4/E4/N4 and proper equipment/script Medusa is virtually impossible to kill without soulslay or lifedrain. And thats also some access to air/nature/earth 4

Re: sauromantia
 

Gorgon. Medusa was a gorgon. Not all gorgons are named Medusa.

I'll draw a Venn diagram the next time this comes up, I swear.

Re: sauromantia
 

I name all my Gorgons Medusa just to add to the confusion.

Re: sauromantia
 

This particular gorgon isnt immortal, so its Medusa.

Good point. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif


On unrelated note, I think Nature 4 is kindof waste on Sauromatia's Gorgon. They already have good nature mages. I would recommend to just give Medusa/Gorgon a Regeneration Ring or Hydra Armor later on, and use these design points on something else.

Re: sauromantia
 

Regeneration (and afliction protection) is still a good addition to Sauromatia blessed units and thugs, though.
