Just running a little test game, and the Virtue is almost tailor made for EA Arco. Philosophers w/sloth 3 magic 1 give you stratospheric research to get those all important buffs early. E income and a quick oreiad gives you a cheap black steel chest piece to fix prot issues. Finally, Arco has plenty of design points to spare. My build is Awake, Dom 10, A3S4, O3S3H1G0L2M1. Your virtue can expand in 5 turns or less, and flying lets you skip over whatever indies you like. Recruit peltasts and indy commanders to further expand, and you will be rolling in money in no time. Fort spam like crazy and go from there. If your virtue gets a booboo, just send her back to the cap and have one of your awesome healers fix her up. Later she'll get you the rings, and cast stuff like wind guide, arrow fend, or whatever you need.
