EA Mictlan Setup - Q's from a noob

Personally I love EA Mictlan

I think I might come to, but I've done enough testing now to see that it is not the easiest nation to master. One question upfront: are you using this setup in MP?

I usually play with a F9W9B4 bless since the added defense and the quickness from the W9 add quite a lot of staying and hitting power to my units. D4 is nice vs. high HP and/or regen units like Niefel Giants with a N9 bless and IIRC it helps with the old age.

I'm slightly confused: you list F9W9B4, but comment on how D4 is nice - is B4 a typo? I'm playing around w/ both B4 and D4 on my test pretenders, and it does seem like both are worthwhile, but I may have to choose between them (its possible to get both, but many you really have to bork up your scales to get there).

So, also on your scales you have two things that surprise me. One is the drain (which I'll post a question on separately), and the second is the turmoil/luck combination. I guess I was thinking of order/misfortune as being the better combo because you're going to want to build lots of units, and lots of forts (complete w/ labs & temples) and lots of labs for your bloodhunting provinces. Are you ok w/ the economic downside of turmoil?
