Mictian is very cool and very frustrating. Especially the blood sacrifice need. And the Mercenary "Costs Double for you" situations.

Their base units (the standard bearer, warriors with slings and javs) are pitifully weak and get mowed down easily.

As a game progresses it gets harder and harder to put your sacred troops up to the front line of battle since they are capital only.

That's the only deal I have found with fighting MP with Mic.
