Re: Hi, I\'m new! And.. uh.. help?
Well, I started a new game with MA Marignon, using a Dormant Baphomet with Astral 9, Fire 6, Productivity 3, and the rest of my points in Dominion, I think. I looked at the national spell list, and liked the look of the angelic summons, so I'll be working towards that after a bit of evocation and construction. He hasn't woken up yet, but in the meanwhile, I've been scouting around and beating up on the neighbours, while I got my research machine going.
I like:
Flagellants - disposable Blessable troops! Great on the attack... sure, they drop like flies, but they're dirt cheap!
The.. uh.. middle mage. The not-yet-old one. Name forgotten. I have a bunch of them pumping out research right now (I was thinking of using the oldtimers for it, but they seem pretty expensive to waste on sitting around a capital. Pretty handy to have around on the battlefield, too, I imagine. I've got an inquisitor leading one of my armies, but I think I may swap him out to take advantage of some better fire spells.
Paladins. Holy crap, these guys are indestructible. He kept getting ahead of the rest of my army (I couldn't afford a cavalry group at the time) and charging into the fray, and I constantly feared for his life, but... man, they can sure soak it up.
There's definite one-more-turn syndrome going on. I like it.
And another question:
Is there a convenient list of units and their stats sitting around anywhere?
I ask because I went into a Caelum indep province with the intention of mowing them down with my crossbowmen while they advanced, with the rest of my army on a hold-and-attack. Thing is, soon as the battle started, some brown winged thingies were right up in my back lines, and I'm not really sure how they got there (or what they are - I only realized afterwards that one can r-click on units in battle to look at their stats). Is that a peculiarity of flyers, or did they just click reaaaaaaally far to the right of the army setup box?
