Seeing as how everyone keeps crying about how overpowered MA Agartha is, i figured that was the obvious next choice for me ;-)

I decided to just take great scales, and rely on indie troops to tide me through until i figure out what I want to do mid/late game. If nothing else I'll die a happy capitalist with lots of cash...

For the first game i just took the cheapest pretender I could (imprisoned waterfountain with dom5 and astral4 i think... hes not woke up yet...) Once I figure out what Items/spells I really miss, I'll try again with a pretender who can fill those needs without blowing my scales.

Biggest thing I miss so far is DD for skull mentors. I'm addicted to those things, and a 2.5% chance to get DD on a 400 gold elderly capitol only unit isn't quite going to cut it, I fear.

Its a completely different nation strategicly from EA, where the NNE/sacred Ancients realllly reward terrible scales (for bless and to starve incoming armies)

If nothing else, it's a good excuse to learn how to use indies to reasonable effect, as I tend to be attracted to nations that don't play nice with normal humans.
