Default Re: Are heavy bless strategies the best ones ?

I think I understand how to play the defensive and checkerboard strategies, but I've never had much luck with Arco. Could you say a little more about the research strategy for them?
Really? Usually the checkerboard strategy takes explanation (skipping across dangerous indepts to get to an enemy without leaving an easy route back to your capital).

Arcos is usually accepted as being the most magically capable and research powerful nation. It appears central to their build. And very astral. They are one of the easier nations to build around for a research push into powerful end-game magic. Of course that tends not to work too well on small maps and quick games. That CAN hold their own fairly well in such armor-to-armor games but they have to drop the focus on a reasearch push.
