Default Re: Mictlan Pretenders ideas request

Nagot was correct, however impolitically he may have presented himself.

Foom: Vampire queens are still good, but quite expensive. you'll be solely relying on her pretty well for expansion. and 4 dominion is a likely death sentence in multiplayer, and wizard's tower is nice but too pricey.

its true that Boron is more of a turtler, at least when i played him, but i'm not so impressed w/ vampire lords and soul contracts. sure, they're good, but no big deal.

the sacred troops are just ok, nothing great IMHO
well, it all depends on settings, but w/ an extreme bless strat, Mictlan has the best sacred units in the game. even w/ just a fire 9 bless they are quite useful and definitely cost-effective. I like an F-9 A-4 Moloch, though i'm used to dealing w/ it's tendancy to "run away". a few indy archers in the back will usually work, until i'm able to solve the problem more permanently...

using zen's pretender mod i've had very good success w/ an ultra-dragon (dual bless), however I don't think this will still be viable under the scales mod.
