Re: Primordial Cake - [Game In Progress]
Yep Yep! +1 to the above posts!
Some of the best players never win the game. (They are just too scary, and people team up on them!) But the devil is in the details.
Build lots of scouts, try to catch a view of battles between experienced players. Everyone has different styles. One guy might have great coverage with battlefield mages, while another player builds strong diplomacy. There are a few 'Game Winners' in the late game, but I'm not very experienced in late game, just know you want to team up on anyone who casts certain spells like...
Burdon of Time: Kills off everything that isn't Undead. Ermor
Darkness: All provinces yield 1/10th gold, armies can't fight well. Used by Nations with Darkvision
Astral Corruption: Kills off all mages! Used by Blood nations.
Gift of Health with Tartarian Gates: Cures the afflictions of HUGE magic undead SC's.
There's a spell that gives you 1/3 of all Gems used every turn by all players......(WOW)
Some battlefield Combonations to watch out for....
Super Combatants: Single Hero with fancy equipment. You want to know how the enemy is equiping SC's before you meet them on the battlefield. If the enemy has high Defense, try to swarm them. If they have high Protection, use armor piercing/negating attacks. If they have low moral or magic resistance, use that against them. There is always a weakness.
If you see a faction using an element to destroy entire armies, start fabricating items to protect against that element.
Example is Caelum calling Storms and then electrocuting entire armies on the battlefield.
Oh, now I'm rambling...Just make sure you have lots of scouts in the field. They are your best defense, and strategic edge!
