Re: Yet Another Hinnom Guide
I agree that Hinnom is not a full Blood nation, however, Hinnom has very good access to some applications, validating to hunt a few provinces.
For example, cheap thug equipment. I realized that a Kohen can be truned useful without much equipment. Give a E or S Kohen one (two) Flesh Eaters and a Ring of the Warrior (+5 attack for 3/5 slaves) and an additional item or two depending on the opposition and budget (bracers, AMA, shield, immunity/water breathing items, skullcap+coin to teleport, Pendant of Luck). They have the Prot 2 robes which is affected by the E9 bless.
Cast Bless, Body Ethereal+Luck/Ironskin, Reinvigoration with a slave.
Send (Lesser) Horror.
Call Lesser Horror is unfortunately cannot be exploited by Hinnom. Initially the expansion should be handled by Melqarts and the starting army, one should not waste the capital to buy Kohens which has 1:3 chance to get Astral.
And the Se'irim are still relatively easily massable demon troops if that's needed, 8 for 33 slaves.
About using Fire resistance: not immunity, thus would require an immunity item. Not that a big problem though, your thugs can get either Fire Brand or Dragon Helmet.
I realized that I could have done so, but my research speed was abysmal and was not preparing by forging F boosters.
I won't bother with Falling Fires though, Hinnom cannot afford to mass F2-3 combat magi. Even F1+2 boosters+phoenix Power +crystal shield can cast Fire Storm.
