Arrows man, I'm telling you enough arrows with a bit of chaff to block are quite effective against jags so long as you've got critical mass.

Not against a F9N9A9 bless. Critical mass away = )

I'm not C'tis but Patala in that game. But let's not dwell on that game any longer.. I just hope I can get to KO to hurt him for that last remark

Default Somewhat OT question

Does anybody find some interest in playing MA Mictlan? I tried it in SP & it just was incredibly dull... (read: jags or nothing)

MA Mictlan can cast Arrow Fend with the Sky Priests, and that's huge early on.

You've got great communion potential with Turkeys and Couatls. Sky Priests, Turkeys, and Couatls all have superb mobility with flight, Trapeze, and Teleport.

The cheap Mictlan priests are great researchers. You've got great magic diversity, lack of Earth is the only glaring absence.

Tlaloques get you directly into blood without bothering with using scouts for hunting, and from there new hunters are only 25 slaves each. This will also let you branch into death.

Jaguars (the animals) are one of the few animal summons that are actually worth it. Antimagic is easy to cast with a Couatl. The Jade Serpents are nice summons too, and a few of them mixed with turkeys will stop any elephant rush.

I'm playing with an F9A5B4 imprisoned Phoenix, but F9A5E4 would have been better, both for diversification and for reinvigoration. I thought I'd need the B4 for blood, but the summons are good enough for that.

Well, I didn't want to use Blood as it's not thematic in this case. And after all, if I want Blood, I could play EA! So Tlaloques are, in my opinion, not very thematic for this era, too. BTW I used Lawgiver for Pretender - after all, it's about him! But his worth I cannot divine...
Jade Serpents I tried to use as banners for Giant Toads, but they just ran forward and got slaughtered. Against elephant rush, though, they may be worth it...
And yes, I usually try to get at least some Earth bless if I have sacred mages.
Communion potential - yes, probably. But on the other hand, we have many nations with it... Many flying mages, however... yes, it may be their unique feature.
Thanks in any case.
