One of the nicer sides of SP is that you dont need to be too optimal with your build/strategy. I mean that if you want to do something you can just do it whitout thinking is it really good way to play. For an example i would never play pangaea with F9 bless in MP but if i feel like doing it in SP then why not? The same goes for many pretenders.
Pangaea has never really been my cup of tea. I guess im more of a marching army guy
I have been playing some SP games with them and here is what i have learned. People usually take sloth for more maenads. I usually take order for more taurs. Maenads are crap and taurs are good
The bottleneck for recruiting is mostly just gold so that order gives nice boost for early expansion. The mages are also guite expencive so that extra cash is nice for them too. Many people preach for the wisdom of taking turmoil for blood nation because you loose less money for hunting. The point is true but the there is downside too. When takin turmoil you have less money overral and when you blood hunt on top of that you will have even less cash. Its like trying to optimize money shortage
I dont like pangaea as nation so much but i just love many of their units. Centaur warriors are one of my favorite units in the game. Maybe someday i will figure out a way to play them in MP with a way that fits my playingstyle
I just hope that some year i will find 100 fantasy books to read
Im now blazing through "Promise of the Witch-King" from R A Salvatore
