in all my trial runs with the settings, I found waiting a turn to scout was more effective than rushing in blindly. at least with inde strength set to 8.

That is certainly true... if you don't start with body ethereal.

Normal research, I'd rush out on turn 1. But with very difficult, not many people can start taking provinces before turn 4 or later with their pretender, so waiting a turn doesn't significantly hurt. Losing your pretender on turn 1 though, with no priests to recall him, because you couldn't go for LI/HI instead of HC/knights? Priceless.

An extra province is an extra province, research does not really change the equation. |
