Default Re: Some joy with Mictlan

Interesting.

Curse Internet Explorer! I posted a nice turn-10 report on my game, but the connection failed and infernal Internet Explorer decided to forget the contents of the form, so it's lost. Excuse me while I cast Send Greater Horror on the Redmond province...



Ok, that's better. The abbreviated Version is I was doing fairly well on turn 10, but on turn 11 my neighbors hit back and I went from 8 (low-quality) provinces to 5. Getting into a two-opponent war (against Pangea and C'tis) by turn 10 is probably going to adversely affect my results.

However, I think the Mictlani Air Force seems to have potential. A bunch of blessed flying Eagle Warriors mixed with Fiends of Darkness (I have 3-4 by turn 12) often can cause havoc on AI armies by using Hold and Attack Rearmost.

I got my main conventional army cut off and starving though. Somehow, my heroic commander became diseased - looks like maybe they are not immune when their army starves. Contagion from hunger-sick troops?

(OT: Re: The Death and Taxes thread:
Since he was cut off next to the C'tis home province, I decided to try setting tax to 200 AND pillaging with his 30 men - they killed over 500 population (about 15%!) and confiscated 26 gold, while the taxes were only going to yield 12. Unrest is up to 99 in one turn. Looks like pillaging is much more effective that just turning up the tax - looks like reasonable effects to me.)
