[Adept]

Personally I've had my best multiplay game playing Atlantis.

This was in Dom I time, when Ermor was still Ermor every time. We played on the huge Europa map with the fixed start locations, all factions present and the highest or parhaps the second highest AI setting. Indie 5, I think. From the word go I made it my mission to destroy Ermor.

A coral queen prophet (lvl 5), backed up by another queen. A nice bunch of parhaps 40 of those big sacred troops, and that's it.

The war took forever as Ermor got real tough, real fast. I had to resupply about 20 more of those sacred troops, but othervice it was that 2 priestess & sacred troop bodyguard that carried the whole campaign.

Talk about deep patrol. No possibility of retreat pretty much the whole time.

This was against the highest or the second highest AI setting. No pushover that.

Got to love those big strong atlantians. Dagon of course, is the only true pretender.

Give him two ice-swords to start with (defence +8) and he goes through armies like nothing else.

Definitely he best fighting pretender I've ever used. These days the Nataraja may be even better. 4 Ice Swords = Defence 30 or so in just a few rounds from the beginning. 4 Attacks too.
