Default Re: VQ Counters - NO Debates

This conversation is going well. To get the devs attention it is best to give specific examples and avoid declaring something completely broke.

As for me, Im not the type to meet a strong opponent head-on. There will always be some great god Version, but I dont look for another god to counter it. Actually there are alot of very nasty opponents in this game (try giving the AI a King of the World Doom Horror). The name of the game is dominions and that would be my strategy in this case. Avoid the one-man-army by creating many small armys. Strike by surprise in far corners and build from those spots. If the MegaKiller goes there then be ready to do the same in 2 or 3 other spots on the map. Lots of temples and cheap castles.

Some of my favorite nations would do this well. I would think Marignon would have already been considered for the same reasons they often come up in resonse to Ermor. Priests and Fire. Caelum could do damage with fast flying sneak priests.

Man and Pangaea would seem automatic also. Sneak and cheap (1/2 cost) temples. I would defeintely use magic crossbows. Knock her magic out fast.
