AAR - EA bless (Helheim) owerpowered on med+ map ?

[KissBlade]

Oh yeah I like Magic 1 instead of drain 2, Helheim's battlemagic is so uber ...

[Shovah32]

Drop down to sloth 3, misfortune 2(would suggest 3 but its a big map so..) and with your 160 free'd up points go with kissblades magic 1 (bladewind rocks, air magic is nice aswell) and then either go to either cold 1 or misfortune 1 again.

I was going to say you can expect a bit of trouble with abysia (fire resistant and high prot) but remembering your very high defence and great air magic you should be fine (try to keep in your own dominion though, if your lands get hot then his troops get better)

Thank you again, will drop Prod to Sloth 3. And yup, I like magic, because of that I went with Drain 2 instead of 3 and took Cold 2 instead of 1

I will NOT use the bug.

Since I am no great writer this should be more of an educational than an entertaining AAR - due to this using a bug would be wrong

Not using the bug is fine, even before any temple spammage you can still produce over 500 golds worth of sacreds per turn NOT including the commanders needed to lead them (also note that 5-7 helhirdlings is enough to take most indies...)

Scales updated

And I tried to take nations for the AI which could give me the most trouble (form the limited knowledge I have with Dom3).

Mictlan is brutal when handled with humans but tends to implode with AI.

Hello,

after having solved my FTP-problems here are the first 2 turns .

"Cry Hovoc and let slip the Dogs of War!"

Turn1

This is my initial position, with a mountain close and some nice looking plains I cant complain.




With my meager ressources I buy 4 Helhirdings (HH) and have 100gold and 8 ressources left. In addition my scout is turned into the prophet.

Turn2

Arco, Ulm, Caelum, Vanheim, Niefelheim and Atlantis declared their prophets in addition to me doing so. Nothing else happened this turn.

The fairly light defended province to my southwest looks like a suitable target and I will send my initial army and the 4 newly recruited Herhirdings there.



The province to the northeast looks quite juicy incomewise (about 250 gold/turn), but I am not sure if my 4 HHs would be enough to overcome the defenders.

In addition 1 Helkarl and 3 more Helhirdings will be bought this turn.
