If you teleport them somewhere, you've got to build a lab to teleport them out.

they can be good for that. except the sphinx, which can't even teleport.

Well, Sphinx used to be real baddie. Imagine getting 500-hp pretender to your citadel on turn 5! Unfortunately, it lost all ways of teleporting when it was balanced, not just the cheapest one that made it ultra-powerful.

I've been trying this lately. Right now my angle is double-bless effects. I'm in a multi-player game right now with the Flaming Head Baphomet with Astral-9, Fire-9. The nation is Marignon, so the cheap little flagellants can hand out some good damage before dying.

Also the Baphomet can teleport into the fray. That's fun!

In single-player right now I'm experimenting with Jotunheim, Monolith, Astral-9, Nature-9.

Also I like the idea of taking an Oracle, Astral-3, and maximum dominion goodness. That could be fun.

About getting immobiles back home : you've to have Astral-2, and can script "Returning", a battle spell that returns you back home.
Downside is that if the battle does not Last till the end of your script, you're stranded - until the next battle that is !

What scales are you using for this? I find a substantial defecit when I put it together. Order 2, Sloth 1, Cold 3 (of course), Growth 0 (These are giants), Luck -2, Magic -2 (I'll get skulls quick enough)

So, the big use of these guys is a double bless, and keeping out of trouble?

ehhh, skulls aren't enough :O

you should have magic 2 w/ the jots. giants can deal w/ a bit of death - just get some wineskins going ASAP. Also, w/ a bless strat, you can go w/ a mausoleum and sloth 3, since you're just buying commanders and woodsmen.

so, order 3, sloth 3, cold 3, death 2, misfortune 2 magic 2
dominion 7 mausoleum, seems to work.

its pretty minimal for supply, but if you're careful you can do it.

If the woodsmen weren't capitol only, or if Jotuns could easily manage gateways, that'd be good, but... Actually, even with gateways, I haven't found it possible to buy enough woodsmen to fuel a long-term advance.

well, when i go for a jot bless-strat, as soon as i expand a bit, my secondary castle spam is pushing out a fair number of Jotun herse. Herse are perhaps the best sacred unit in the game woodsmen are good early is all. but even at those settings, if you're careful w/ your forces, you can accumulate quite a few woodsmen too. Of course, they still might not be able to deal w/ a real SC, but that's always a problem.
