I actually don't have an issue with Yellow's triple bless. Not to insult you Yellow but I saw a small squad of his Eagle Warriors (blessed) go up against the Vine Army that sprouted in one his provinces. He got trashed and his warriors, despite their triple bless, we're killed. Although I will admit that it was a small army it still seems quite telling. Again no offence Yellow but it seems to me that Eagle Warriors are a bit fragile for such a strategy, Jaguar Warriors are much better of course but their capital only. Also his god and dominion must have suffered quite a bit to get a triple bless so...
But then again I'm not much of an authority on this subject considering I'm quite a distance from the Mictlan/Shinuyama conflict.

Re: Hot Hot Heat [Game In Progress]
 

For me, the real unit to look at when your glancing over Mictlan are the Nahualli. Possibly one of the best recruit-anywhere support mages in the game. When you go triple-bless, you deny yourself the opportunity to utilize these units in mass because of bad scales. Though I also concur that each play style has its strengths. It is easier for players to play to those strengths when their personality matches with the play-style itself.

I've got two jobs, two kids, and too little time for micromanagement in games. Triple bless is an awesome time saving device. Build the holy units, bless them, send them out to die. Make some friends, make some enemies, have fun. That's the plan.

Re: Hot Hot Heat [Game In Progress]
 

Yeah, AOE is a good guy and I suspect his earlier comments re YC was more over the treachery than using a triple bless is cheesy.

In fact I don't recall reading on the forums any pretender build labeled as cheesy.

You get four guys and ask them to design a pretender on the same nation and you will most likely get four very different builds.

It seems the attempt to get Ossa to stay may have failed. I've put up a request for a replacement. The enticement of an alliance was simply not enough. I retract my call for alliance and go back to smashing and killing in the usual manner. Rage smash kill bash.

Re: Hot Hot Heat [Game In Progress]
 

Thats the good ole AOE I know. Welcome back.

Re: Hot Hot Heat [Game In Progress]
 

Game delayed by 24 hours while I look for that replacement.

HD, :).

I would like to formally congratulate Lumix on a wonderful display of ranged destruction and on executing quite well one of my favorite strategies. I've always been keen on the classic reverse communion. If I didn't know better, I would have thought I was fighting myself. My upcoming commands now have my commanders scrambling across the map to form the shape of a god damn spider's web. You've prompted quite a bit of restructuring and promoted utter chaos.

Well done Lumix, well done. I will now get the utmost satisfaction from harvesting your capitol's gem supply from over your rotting unburied corpse. But seriously, I'm have a lot of fun.

Re: Hot Hot Heat [Game In Progress]
 

What did he do? I can't do a communion, let alone a reverse communion. My wife won't even let me on a skateboard. Share...share...share!

Re: Hot Hot Heat [Game In Progress]
 

Tein Chi deployed 2 communion masters, and 8 communion slaves in a reverse communion. The key spells that the masters used where summon earth power and power of the spheres. The 8 communion slaves, buffed to have a skill of 3 in earth and 2 in astral, now summoned a hail of meteors to wipe out most of my army. Meanwhile, crossbow men basically took care of the rest. Good times were had by all.
