in all my trial runs with the settings, I found waiting a turn to scout was more effective than rushing in blindly. at least with inde strength set to 8.

That is certainly true... if you don't start with body ethereal. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Normal research, I'd rush out on turn 1. But with very difficult, not many people can start taking provinces before turn 4 or later with their pretender, so waiting a turn doesn't significantly hurt. Losing your pretender on turn 1 though, with no priests to recall him, because you couldn't go for LI/HI instead of HC/knights? Priceless. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

An extra province is an extra province, research does not really change the equation.

he can always prophet someone and have them start calling back. what would really suck is losing a pretender and a prophet on the second turn, with no priests to call back.

losing pretender+prophet+temple early on has hjappened to me before, thank god(no pun intended) that you can make another prophet a few turns later (it was as mictain in single player this happened to me where it really hurt because all my mages were priest so i couldnt recruit any during the time)
