Yeah, big micro without a lot of punch...but it does give you something to do with all those forts when you can't afford to buy anything
Plus with the 1 move its worse (although I don't mind the 1 move or eek, the 3 battlefield move). They've got to be weak. They really did take up my whole game it seems.
Possibly just give the keeper very good magic leader as well? Nice that the vine queen has it, but I'd rather bring a keeper into battle vs a vine queen.
Trying a bless strat this time, a 9N2F4E3S enchantress. Didn't really want to take nature since its redundant, but the regen seems to be the only useful bless besides fire. Earth prot doesn't seem to affect them (because of no armor?) and while reinvig is nice, doesn't seem to be the problem yet although ahven't had huge battles. I initially wanted to try a E9N10 Cyclops but prot doesn't work and can't find a good petender
Not a fan of immobiles, and the orb thingy is too expensive for other paths cuz I think you need a little (air or water)/earth/astral (shoulda gone 2A on the above ench).
So far, 4 bears can cruise through indy's at 5. I've had like ~10 battles and only have lost 1 to elephants (out of 3 elephant indy combats). Bloody brutal with +8 berserk (nature bless stacks)
Research still seems slow, but isn't 100g for 4 research normal? Possibly just seems slow cuz of limited options?
Think I'll ditch the ants and see if play flows better.
