some advices for Tir na nog ?
 

Hi every body http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I tried Tir Na Nog yesterday and found it a little weak.

With a Cyclop E9 Awe,
order 3, Prod -2, Death 3 (they are all a very long lifetime) luck -1 and magic 3

But I am not familiar with high nature magic : what do I search first ?

Is E9 Bless worth it ?
I think about an Great Enchanteress with E6 S6 and maybe 1D 1F.

I think you meant "what do I research first". Evo up to 4 for Thunderstrike should work. If your Cyclops is awake/sleeping (I'm sure he's not imprisoned) you might do Const2, Conj3, Evo4.

With so much air, and just expensive mages, I think if you want a research boost you could just forge some quills instead of getting Magic-3 scales.

Just expensive mages? Champion is sacred, build everywhere, and 4 research... for pocket change. Magic 1 makes a lot of sense. Magic 3, especially with great reinvigoration from pretender blessing is not really needed.

But Death + Misfortune leads to bad, bad events. Your capital may be wasteland by turn 10.

Growth 1, Misfortune 3, Magic 1 (Total -1) is better rather than
Death 3, Misfortune 1, Magic 3 (Total -1)

For research, Alt 3/Evo 4/Con 4 are good start. At this point, you have thugs and artillery. Order depends on who's your neighbor.

Champions are 140 gold for 4 research. Sure they are sacred, but the only land nations that are worse in EA for no cheap researchers are Ulm, Fomoria, and the Heims.

Magic 1 is never a bad bet, but it was Magic-3 I thought inappropriate for Tir na nog.

and death is really fine for Tir Na Nog, "the land of the Ever Young"

If your capitol sits in a forest and you have Mis-3, you can avoid the threat of an Ancient Presence event in your capitol if you have death instead of growth.

Death-3 with Mis-1 can be worse than Mis-3 Death-2, since plagues are common with Death-3. I don't like Mis-3 because you get more events, with a greater chance for them to be bad. So I think Mis-2 Death-2 is a good compromise.
