Guide to EA C'tis

[Sandman]

Any ideas on how C'tis can boost dominion underwater? Is the mound fiend an undead preist who can preach? Are there any earlier options available to me?

C'tis gets water randoms on their Sauromancers, so you could forge rings of water breathing for their priests.

You're probably right, Shovah.

"The base area of effect (Fear +0) is 6 squares).

Doh. Thanks for pointing that out, Sandman.

It turns out, I really should have been using more elite warriors early on. I've taken 13 provinces by the end of my first year.

Excellent! That's more like it.

Is there any fatigue difference between magic scales of one and three? Or is the discount capped at 10%?

[MaxWilson]

The manual says it's 10% per point of magic, and I'm 80% sure I've seen it in action. Keep in mind, though, that the fatigue from spellcasting includes encumbrance as well as spell fatigue; you can reduce the spell cost by magic scales, communion, or higher path skill, but you always take the basic encumbrance cost as well. So, 30% less fatigue doesn't automatically translate to 42% more spells.

Newbie. Tried EA C'tis with rainbow pretender ,dormant great druid. with heat +3 and some negative luck scales. Tried using bless strategy, managed to win by beating the ryleah or something. Stupid sea thing was hard to beat, decided to defend only (i got more provinces anyway ha ha), until got thesis blessing or something...

A random SP game against Niefelheim, Sons of Winter, taught me something.

You might be able to manage, but I really don't recommend any dominion below five. You certainly have access to excellent priests, but if you run up against a cold nation, having a dominion strength of three will be brutal.

So... what's your opinions about workable dominion strengths with the C'tis?
