Re: DEATH!!!
No matter...I just started over anyway. The God's name was Destroyer of Worlds??? Since I don't have the manual, I am not sure what all this "bless" and having a strong "bless" means or not having my "bless" affected. I am pretty much learning by trial and error. And still not real clear about magic in general. Like, what effect on the rest of the nation having a god with 6 nature has. Or does this just allow him to cast spells with 6 nature icons? I read somewhere about having to have at least 5 levels of magic with a person to get a "bless" Does that mean to get a bless spell? As my holy men have been casting bless all the time. Another one.....I have a mage with 2 fire levels. Can he cast any 2 fire(only) spells? Can he cast a 3 if he has a fire gem? But not a 4?? That's how I have been understanding it, anyway. I also understand that some spells require a certain number of gems. If they are in a lab(?) or is it a fortress(?) they can draw out of the pool. But if they are in a province without the proper building, can they cast those spells if they have those gems on their person?
Anyway...took the same pretender, just a different strategy. Pretty much stayed put until I got a Yaksha(??) and several Yavanas built. And had some Guru along. The little Markata aren't so bad if given courage. God you can build thousands of them for almost nothing. It is a sight to see them fire missiles at approaching infantry. I also summoned some help (horned serpents and cave drakes). Expanded a little bit more slowly. Seems to help. I am thinking Kailasa is not such a sucky nation to play. At least it seems to be going better, now. My AI opponents are Niefelheim and Pangea. (Please forgive my butchering of names). Question....does pure, raw odds have anything to do with morale?? Example: I attack 30 infantry with 30 of my better troops (Bandar maybe) and they won't seem to run as easily if I have 90 or 100 of the little monkeys. I dunno...maybe just cuz I get a kick outta those little monkeys throwin rocks and overwhelming the enemy.
Sorry this got so long.....Just having fun.
