lol I read the strat wiki so I have a general idea of all the blesses.. just not completely on which is best and when

so I'm always open for advice (I intend to win my first MP game

)
what about how I started the game, neglect research till I have a steady horseman factory in my main city then switch to research (in the meanwhile building a lector from time to time use with the horseman and when I want to use the shadow vassals I would send a high theurg for the blessings out with them)
