This game seems to be yet another indication that the VQ is grossly overpowered and must be nerfed (or eliminated) in the next patch. Look at Vanheim taking level 9 provinces with a single god and no army

huh? my VQ has taken two provinces - since all the provinces around me are crap, its not too difficult. This Last turn she took out 55 light infantry and militia. anything can do that. I think perhaps you just haven't seen many SC's at work yet.

Frankly, I'm not that impressed w/ her potential as my dominion hasn't bothered to spread much at all. A VQ is definitely a contender though, and since I had refused to play her before the nerf, I thought I'd give her a go again. Any reasonable SC could have been taking bunches of 40-50 infantry, militia, and archers w/out breaking a sweat.

The only major thing wrong with the VQ is that immortality is overpowered because of free recuperation.

yeah, that's my take on it too. its not very germaine to the present situation though, since my VQ has had to attack non-dominion provinces

Vanheim might easily be doing this with their VQ : Full Black Plate, 18 armor etherealness, by turn ... 5?

yeah, i'm vanheim, so black plate is a go

For instance, Panther, for 150 pts less than i spent on the VQ you could have had a Nataraja w/ A4 W3 E3, which is a true indy smashing monster (w/ Alt-3 and Ench-1), especially as it gets healed by Arcos' priestess.
