Temporal Strategy

[PvK]

Temporal has some good things in it. Like all racial tech areas, if they didn't, they wouldn't be worth paying for. The minimaxer munchkin's question then becomes whether they are worth the 1500 points or not. Fortunately, the game is varied enough that non minimaxer munchkins can enjoy the game and win with a variety of techs and techniques, especially against the unmodded AI.

I find it interesting that almost every "praise Temporal" message I've seen ignores the things that look best about it to me. I tried to use it once in a tough PBW competetive game, and lost, mainly because I was playing against a top-ace player, and because I was basing my strategy on a Temporal ability that doesn't work as well as I thought it would (which is a good thing, because even though misleading, it'd be a bit overpowered in some situations).
