Re: Newbie questions
Unfortunately, small maps with no special victory conditions create a situation where some strategies can be said to be the "usual winning strategy". PLEASE do not consider that to be the total definition of what is good or bad in Dominions 3. Its a very small part of it, though it might be all of how some people play and view the game. Generally, I would say that the way to kick tail in this game is to discover the nation that best lets you play the way you tend to play. Forcing yourself into a particular strategy wont work better than someone who is comfortable in a specialised nation.
OK enough rant. On the blitz maps Im setting the games up right now on, you might want to concentrate on simple army tactics with powerful national troops. The game isnt likely to allow much use of flight, stealth, specialised allies, or focus on research. MAYBE the strong defense and buildup (dam bursting) strategy depending on who you are playing against.
