Gandalf:

How do you use the Lord of the Wild (EA or ME MP)? I tried to use it but I'm not sure how: as a pretender I dont want to risk him to sneak in bad dominion. Do you use blood Magic? Equip him as a SC?

However he is a really cool thematic choice http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Yeah. It will be more like precise laser strike from the orbiting satelite, rather than some random rock from space. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I dont sneak him out unless it looks like Im going to lose my castle. But I use him as a fodder generator. Especially since I turn down order and production which makes him generate even more. It gives me a nice split between being able to create and send stealth armies, while still getting plenty of free non-stealth for local combat and patrolling.

Re: Thug/SC/Assasin builds thread
 

Ok. Does it generate more maenads than a regular pan?

Re: Thug/SC/Assasin builds thread
 

Im pretty sure he does but i cant verify.

Re: Thug/SC/Assasin builds thread
 

Yes, he does.

Re: Thug/SC/Assasin builds thread
 

And having high turmoil increases it even more. It gets hard to keep enough commanders moving them around. Getting the ability to Awaken Sleeper helps alot

Re: Thug/SC/Assasin builds thread
 

The only problem i have is that taking turmoil can give you a fairly large decrease to your income, although taking luck and a bit of growth might help.

I'm trying Turmoil 3 Luck 3 Pangaea. Sometimes luck gives money but I think I have to take an awake pretender able to figth just in case I'm against an Order 3 Productivity 3 High bless rush http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Other than Mass protection and Maybe mass regen (less useful) to boost maenads, I think theyre is a high blood spell that increase by 4 the strength of all your battlefield units. With Berserk the maenads would have a strength of 15, but at a high research cost. Any other maenad-boosting spell?

Re: Thug/SC/Assasin builds thread
 

Weapons of sharpness? I though rush of strength only worked on demons?
