Re: The Power of Pangaea - Centaur Warriors
Maybe Pangaea maenad is not a winning nation but its a definate force for change. Im in short-fast game where I pinched between Rlyeh and Ermor right off the bat. I figured Id be dead by turn 10. Rlyeh responded to my offer for a NonAgg Pact for awhile (turned me down but at least it was an answer). When I asked Ermor I got no response.
Fine, Im going out and I know who to throw myself against. I put everything into sneaks and sent everyone forth. Even my pretender who was Lord of the Wild.
The tactics were to strike a province, crank taxes to 200%, purchase scouts and some defense, everyone move on. Ive Lasted into late game this way.
Whats really fun is that pan and Lord of the Hunt only need to walk around. They toss maenads as they go. The maenads attack the province and my pretender and pans are never even seen. Eventually Ermor had to start keeping armies in his back provinces and raise his defences in all of them.
It was a fun new discovery very different than my usual use of them as assassins. Still not worth the cost for it to be a main tactic but definetly on the list titled "time for change of tactics"
