Re: Your most magic-less game
Wouldn't a basic shield(or even two, although ice swords give nice defence) be better on the Prince with boots of the behemoth?

Re: Your most magic-less game
An eye shield works really well. I used the behemoth boots and an eye shield in Perpetuality on a PoD against huge hordes of Midgard shapeshifters. If it's a turn 12 pythium build though, that may not be an option. I think that's why DrP went with the 2 swords.
But I'd put an anti-missile ammy on the PoD instead of the lightning ring, unless you've found an air nation on your border.

Re: Your most magic-less game
I'm assuming Vanheim or MA Mictlan - therefore lightning bolts are a major concern. A bless rush from Marignon would obviously be better countered with the missile amulet - I'm not sure what you'd do against an Ermorian longdead cavalry rush. They disregard your awe which gets ugly very fast.
I believe that, even against Glamour troops, you are actually better off with the ice swords and boots of strength than with shields and boots of the behemoth. For one thing, you are only size 4, and you don't actually inflict much trample damage.

Re: Your most magic-less game
Vans could be ugly too. Min morale of 14 when blessed to counter the awe, plus a lance charge could hurt lots. If they've got an H2 for sermon of courage, it'll be even worse.
I ran into an indy barbarian province with an Awe pretender, thinking sweet thoughts of joy since they'll never be able to smack me, and for some reason they were commanded by an H2 indy priest spamming sermons, instead of the regular barb leaders. Got killed.
Edit Had a look at a Mictlan game I'm in too. In friendly dom, my jaguars warriors had 17 morale after bless, 19 after a sermon of courage. I don't think Awe's going to do much against that.
