Guide: MA Pangaea strategies

[Hadrian_II]

Pan also works very well with a Rainbow with F4W4S4 and wathever else you want, as magic diverity wont hurt, especially later on.

Then i would use white cenataurs and CWs, cataphracts just get fatigued and get killed easily, also cataphracts thend to tire out while storming fortresses, when you use CWs with relieve your fatigue will stay down at 0, and you can go sloth 3.

And after you have army of gold, the protection does no longer matter anyway.

And i would do my research with dryads, if you use magic 1, you pay 1 gold upkeep per RP with dryads, as opposed to 2,6 per RP with pans, and with pangaea you will have high upkeep anyway (pan costs 24 gold per turn.)

Man, all the games I've played with Pan, and I never noticed that the Pans cost that much upkeep. No wonder I'm always broke when playing Pangaea. Thanks Hadrian.

Is it just me or is there a bunch more holy manikin spells in enchantment with the latest patch? Soem gret buffs for them (primarily regen).

[Endoperez]

They are listed in my manual, so the spells have existed from the release. It might be that they have only been available for LA Pangaea, or you just never noticed them.

I always keep this in mind when massing units.
Normal units cost equal to their gold cost divided by 15.
Whilst all sacred units cost half that (divided by 30).

So lots of pricey mage researchers with no holiness (unlike Dryad) will empty your coffers in no time.

Time to alter the top post.

Gorgons are very powerful, no doubt, but are they really the only option? They limit you to earth and nature, the paths that Pangea get anyway, so you are very limited in magic diversity throughout the game.

Surely there has got to be something to say for increasing magic diversity.

Remenber hunted forest It like doubles yours hords and makes it so they can beat SC's by fatigue

Thanks for the equation. I will keep that in mind in the future.

The thing with the Pans though, is they bring the freespawn. If you are going with a massed Maenads strategy, you want quite a few Pans to fill out your armies.
