Default Re: SuperVans!

I think going for maximum bless is a good strategy in a game where no one is expecting anything extreme. Play with the scales but the idea is that you are going to put all your reliance in blessed troops. The fact that Van can move them on someone as a total surprise would be interesting also.

If you take low dominion you should be able to operate outside of your scale effects. Especially with the checkerboard capability of Van. Even if your scales lowers your money, magic, fighting ability; you might be able to work around that. Fight outside your dominion area. Take a high-population province and tax it high but dont let your dominion climb there. Take a province for sages and use it for research.

This strategy is probably best used as a "secret weapon" for when you are playing people who think they know you and how you play.
