Re: Pythium (MA) strategy
 

yeah but if I took one just to have decent scales, or better dominion.. or would it still be a bad thing

btw I still not convinced not taking 5S and 2 F on my pretender will make the summoning of the host possible

Re: Pythium (MA) strategy
 

Take an absent pretender and decent scales only if your mages can handle SCs

on 3) mentioned by ironhawk: should I buy them even in the turns my income is only 360.. that means the first turns you can't even build an army to expand????

Re: Pythium (MA) strategy
 

well torin... CAN my mages handle SC?? lol I dunno

Re: Pythium (MA) strategy
 

Pythium's mages cannot handle Sc's until they get paralyze.

So if you have an enemy on your doorstep in 3-4 turns, then no they cant. But hydras are fairly tough, and likely could beat any sc not immune to poison at your capital(where hed have enemy dominion penalties.

In Fallacy, I gambled and took a dormant pretender. But i was
pretty worried about a rush for the 1st 3-4 turns.

Re: Pythium (MA) strategy
 

Hydras are Pythium's answer to most rushes. But you have to see it coming... making enemy advance through clouds of poison is great.

Of course, if Prince of Death or Ghost is coming to visit, you will be beaten and left with capital at best.

By the way, I have stopped a Vanheim rush with 6 ATs chaining smite... but I was lucky because Vanheim player only sent 14 Vans at first. And rest of them were spread. Still lost the game (to next enemy)

It's not about beating rush, it's about convincing neighbour it is not worth it. When rush fails, both players end out of running for victory.

No need not to keep posting about MA pythium pplz...

Re: Pythium (MA) strategy
 

Pythium would laugh at a a POD or Ghost King if it rushed it.
Laugh. You have been hanging around your nephew too long Nik!

POD has no answer to solar rays. Evoc 2.

What are these ANGELS??? harbinger angels? how do you kill them?

Re: Pythium (MA) strategy
 

Read the book for Pythium's special summons, they're listed in the summoned creature appendix.

You kill them the same sorts of way you kill most things - lots of damage, or beat their MR with the right type of spell.
