Re: blood noob question
 

A couple of points, though i have never played Mictlan:

1. recently i have seen many players take dom 9 or 10 to start the game. Maybe just unlucky starts on my part, but in fallacy
most of my neighbors had awake pretenders and 9 dominion.

With 6 dominion, it was an early struggle to get more than 1 candle in my capital. I would have died for sure with 2 dominion.

2. I have fought against Jaguar Warriors, and I have to say with a triple bless, they are very hard to kill, especially when they are complimented by flying sacreds set to kill archers. But the negative scales mean you must be aggressive and attack constantly. If you are a player that likes to make treaties and build up, mictlan likely is not a race for you.

3. I like good scales, so i would not play Mictlan, but if i did, at a min. i would have f9 bless plus either a w9 or s9 bless. s9 is good because it gives them a 3rd life. w9 is good because they get quickness and close faster on their enemies. Extra attack is not really needed as a f9 blessed jag warrior typically kills whatever is in front of it quickly with its 3 attacks. But i have seen a triple 9 bless before, and early in the game that means death for most races facing them.

Re: blood noob question
 

aaaaa.... what is exactly the triple bless in this context? Does it mean three full blesses (=f9,w9,s9) or what?

Re: blood noob question
 

I would guess so.

Re: blood noob question
 

I'm currently against a S9F9W9 bless in a team game and I think mictlan might even had some help from it's teammember... and it's not very easy..

Jag warriors hardly die between quickness, twist fate and 2 forms with high HP

You aren't devouring enough.

Devour his jaguars.
Devour his lands.
Devour his population.
And gnaw a bit on his castles.

And use your own teammember, unless he is gnawing on you http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

BTW teammember is an ugly word. Should it be spelled team member?

Re: blood noob question
 

Technically speaking, THEY should be called team member.

Re: blood noob question
 

In the Big Game as MA Ctis I ran across the triple bless jag warriors of EA Mictlan. Luckily it was far enough along that i had banelords, and with 100 percent fr and the right equipment banelords can kill even the triple blessed jags easily. and they even killed the horrors that were sent after them, though i did lose 3-4 to a life for a life(:

Early on would have been a nightmare. Skelly spam or nothing
would stop them.

KO.. you do not know what you are talking about

Xietor, we are talking start of game here

Re: blood noob question
 

yes, at the start of a game your best hope is a 100 percent fr sc pretender. But skelly spam is at the start of the game for ctis-or at least it should be. Enchant 3 is usually what i research 1st.
