I messed around with MA Argatha and came up with this build. There's plenty of room for tweaking or adding paths to the pretender if there's something specific you want to forge.


Dom 8
Forge Lord
F2
E4
B4

O3
P3
H3
G2
Misfortune2
Magic1

In retrospect I would probably cut out the H3, and drop the Dom to 6 for better scales. You can't really afford to send your already heavy encumbrance troops into battle with even more encumbrance. They have enough trouble hitting the enemy as it is, no need to make that any worse.

The main point of this build would to be to turn the forge lord discount + dwarven hammer into an endless supply of extremely cheap blood stones. You can just blood hunt your capital if you want, or trade for blood slaves. Each earth stone only costs 3 slaves off your forge lord. I would use him for almost nothing besides sitting at home and forging which then in turn get put into an army of statutes. You can also use the E4 bless to goo effect on all of your mages, and even thug out with the giant E3 mages by giving them a frost brand and a shield.
