I've tried it twice so far (been playing a big too much
First with Atlantis - had a terrible time with luck 3... still seemed to get hit with invasions/gold loss every time i turned around.
Just finished one (well premature ending of demo) as agartha, worked like a charm. 3 turmoil, 2 sloth, 1 growth, 3 luck, 2 heat with a mini-bless - 4F4A4W3A4D4G0B I think with the sage (37 research to start!). Just purchased the big sacreds and big mages... good quality, low quantity... and equipped my trogs, rushed up to blade wind and started rolling. Good map too, adventurien.. started on the top coast, about 4 from the nearest enemy.
edit: F4A3W4E4A4D4N4 with 3Turmoil, 3 sloth, 2 heat, 1 death, 3 luck
I'm curious what the "end of demo" is... when you take out your first enemy god/starting loc? 4 years? Sometimes it seems to end at the end of 3 years, some at the end of 4 years... but usually just as i have someone on the ropes or just decimated their country.
I haven't found much about Agartha, but with 3H3E 400g priests (divine blessing + blade wind) and big sacreds the bless thingy worked pretty well. Didn't bother jacking 9 in something as I was limited to 4th lvl spells anyway.
Fun, fun... seems i'll try the chaos bit out more, not a huge fan of focusing on bless - although i'm guessing it very much has to do with the race/nationals/capital limiteds.
I've found I like a combat pretender the best, big bull (good hp, trample, regen, lack of slots), dagon (big, trample, good slots) for atlantis, etc.. but it really sucks with no save function if they croak. More fun though
Question: Site finding - water seems easy with voice of tiamat, is there an equivalent for surface? Seems wastful to cast 3 or 4 spells on one province, doesnt that take forever? I had a great finder (lots of 4's), but wanted him researching.. what's an efficient way to search?
Question: What are the different eras about? Stuck on early for now, do the units change? Do more units become available? Do funky things like prices/site types, etc change? Any rule changes between eras?
Also really wish there was a pdf version of the manual online
