I am new to the Dominions universe. I played the Dom2 and Dom1 demos starting late last year, and my first full game is Dom3, as of <1 week ago (
).
I was playing a Pythium game and dutifully following the sacred tome's strategy blurb, which said to get angels. So I did.
Boy are those things beasts of power. The harbingers have high-accuracy 15 AP damage, the angels of wrath have fear and blood vengeance +2, the Arch Angel has awe and a flambeau, and the sibyl has unbelievably high paths.
So I am asking, which angel would you go for? I personally like the look of the Angels of the Host, and the Arch Angel, but the health and special of the Angel of Fury just makes me get excited. I have an Angel of Fury raising solo hell in Ermor with a Green eye and Rune Smasher (to increase blood vengeance effectiveness), Percival (a pocket knight!), Barrier, Cloak of Shadows, and the Boots of Antaeus.
So, I would just like to hear from the longer-term Dominions players what they think, and what would make some awesome SC Angels (irrespective of gem cost).
