Pangaea advice

[Saxon]

This thread got my interest in this race fired up again, so I started a new game. I built a Pretender with Death five, which gives blessed units lesser fear. I have been using a nice horde of holy centaurs in combination with the Panic spell and some archers to good effect.

I put the centaurs on hold and attack nearest, the archers fire at nearest and script Panic for a pair of mages. By the time the enemy troops get close, they have reduced moral due to spells and arrow fire. The centaurs charge in, deal out some more damage and their lesser fear effect adds to the total “fear factor”.

Perhaps not a game winning strategy, but it is a nice combination of small things adding up to turn a lot of battles for me.

My Pretender is the Carrion Dragon, Stinky, and he also has a good fear effect. The thing is that he got cursed in his first battle and spends most of his time with massive battle afflictions. I mostly use him for searching and the occasion battle when healthy, but were he not cursed, he would fit nicely into the fear combination listed above.

Any suggestions on how to boost this strategy would be welcome.
