Default Re: Golden Age Arcoscephale

Ok, first injuries were from an unlikely source - Blowpipes and Woodsmen!

A lucky blowpipe shot managed to kill a Myrmidon! Very lucky shot, I guess. Then, the druid put my Shedu to sleep with the Sleep spell! Of course, I had timed the attack properly so that, even though I still had no flying escorts for the Shedu, they barely hurt him while he was unconscious, and the Myrmidons and Cardaces arrived the next turn to wipe them out. The Shedu took a chest wound though - time to heal. My luck improved the next turn though as I set my priestess to heal as the Shedu flew in for repairs, and he was healed immediately. Back to action, and now I have a few fliers for escort.

Sadly, I do need to get some sleep, as a ridiculous work week lies ahead, so the experiment will be on hiatus for a while. However, I am not at all displeased with the results so far. The only real weak point I see is the low resources versus the costs of the good units. However Cardaces cost almost no resources, and serve the purpose of having men to help kill indies with at first. When a Shedu is scheduled to go wipe out the rear (especially when escorted), Cardaces can fill the gap for a while.
