Here we go again.
As I opened Turn 40 I got the 1500 Gold , Magic Item and Fire Gems again.
That's twice in exactly 40 turns, which comes down to a 5% average exactly.

That 1500 Gold is so sweet, man, as I can get everything I need in just 1 turn on EVERY FRONT.

PS. On the figure evaluation I read somewhere that the low-resource Minotaurs (40G-7R) were not really worth it.
Maybe.
But against Ulm they rock, being able to recruit a bunch of them due to their low resource demands, their Trample ignoring Ulm's protection and their battle axes+strength doing enough damage to overcome that protection again.

So far I've enjoyed every minute I've played Pangaea.

Those Maenads really come in huge numbers and are very good early game units due to their high morale.
I have the Vine Ogre machine at full speed right now (12 per turn, Druids summoning) and mixed up with those Minotaurs and led by a Firbolg/Dryad combo Ulm has its hands full.

On my Southern border a 75-something army lead by Ram Head consisting of about 44 melee Satyrs (Prot 7) and 24 Centaurs (the speedy low resource units) are keeping Abysia at bay and are running over Machaka troops.

I'm getting into more confrontations with Jotunheim on my Eastern borders.
The Maenads obviously don't work that well against the Giants, so I'm sending my Cataphract Centaurs in that direction.

Northern Border means Mictlan, with which I have an unstable peace so far. Guess Maenads will fare well against Warrior/slave armies especially with some Minotaurs mixed into it.

I obviously have a significant amount of Lions accompanying my armies (Pride of Lions) and Wolves (Call of the Wild) are all over the place as well. The Werewolf Commanders coming in very handy and saving me the time and gold to have to recruit additional commanders.

There's no doubt I'm going to win this game as I'm already ahead in practically every stat (even 3rd on Research) but I'm going to continue to see what pitfalls might still lay ahead as the more powerfull spells are beginning to surface.
