[High_Priest_Naresh]

As you all probably know my fave nation is machaka,
as you have told me, they have strongish pretenders, cheap archers, strong heavy infantry and cavalry,
but the number of combo's you can do with them,
Ivy crown and summon vine ogre,
death summons,
eagle eyes and ranged spells like fire darts and flare
they have a wide range of skills and powers with a few magic items items, even and chief can command hundreds of men, and even better,
for every fire point you have they get to command more men, so 9+ fire for a high command troop and soe other command boosting items can give him 300+ men and more magical beasts.
this is a very cool thing to have command over, a strong mage with protection and power, spells and phisical might coupled with 100's of archers and a few spiders with a dense formation of hoplites can take down gods, powerful mages and thousands of units, you can win with odds of 2-1
remember Machaka and Naresh are a force to be reconed with.
