Re: Terrible Player.
Iry, the problem here is that what you are telling us doesnt really make sense. It makes me think that we are talking at different wavelengths, which is completely understandable. Most of us have been playing for a long time and its difficult to try and put ourselves back into the position of how someone whose just started playing the game sees things. Instead of trying to bridge the gap of understanding, I'm just going to tell you exactly what you need to do in order to beat an infinite number of AIs. Then, once you know that, you should be able to expand on that strategy to many others which will handily beat the AI.
Do This:
Start an EA game, choose Abysia
Build a pretender that has *at least* Earth-9 and Nature-4 magic
(this will give your sacreds a strong blessing)
Take scales Order 3, Prod 3, Heat 3, Misfortune 3, Magic 1
Choose dormant awakening
Take as much dominion as you possibly can.
Set independents to max (9)
Set magic research to easy
Start the game
While playing, buy only Anathement Salamanders (cheapest sacred mage)
Buy all Burning Ones (your elite sacreds) with remaining money
Set your research to 100% Evocation
In combat, lead a team of burning ones with a commander with holy magic
Script the mage/priest to cast Blessing x5, or Divine Blessing
Watch as your burning ones butcher all resistance!
Expand rapidly - AT LEAST one province/turn after turn 5.
Build more burning one teams as new provs give more money
Expand more and more
Buy only 10PD in any province
Perhaps build 25PD if the prov is a chokepoint vs. the AI
Build more forts+labs as money comes available to increase research with more mages
Continue in this fashion until you research Firestorm (Evocation level 7)
Once you get Firestorm, recruit Anointed of Rhaux
Put the Anointed with your combat team and give them fire gems
Script Firestorm
Attack the AI with a suitable number of troops + Firestorm (aby troops resist fire)
The Game is now Over. The AI cannot compensate anymore.
