Kailasa guide

[Executor]

"if your neighbor sees you playing Kailasa, what's stopping him from rounding up a group of indie archers and breaking down your door?"

Time is, can you really buy enough indie archers to counter Kailasa so early? You would need a great deal of archers to do so.
When you get to the point where you have several forts with cheap acrhers Kailasa is going to have some magic and other troops to support the yavanas.

What you're saying is impossible. What's to stop me from rounding up a group of indie infantry to stop those archers? Or buying my own archers put to fire archers? Indie archers won't get you anywhere against Kailasa.

If you're playing Sauromatia, sure they'll be a pain in the *** since nations like that are going to use archers anyway but even then there are ways to avoid archers.

An army of yavanas against an army of archers as the same gold cost, yavanas are gonna cut them to shreds, and they are a part of your general strategy unlike archers who you're gonna use in only certain situations but will still cost you twice as much to keep since yavanas are sacred.

And with Kailasa you don't need big armies running around. Several small armies are much more effective and will make it harder for a big group of archers to stop.

I don't mean to be pushy here, but I made a much better version of a multi Kailasa mod. I believe everything is correct except there are some extra pretenders that should not be available. Obviously if you were going to play such a game you would want real names and flags which are easy to do. If someone wants to host a multi Kailasa game I would be glad to help set up/fix/troubleshoot, but I'm not a Kailasa fan and don't want to play. Please PM me if you find something incorrect.

Are you joking? Not only are indie archers readily in supply during EA (both massable due to crappier armor in EA and ever present indie "tribes" to mass them with) but they're one of the most effective EA expansion troops. If you're going to "counter archers with archers" then you're following my suggestions that Kailasa is more of an archer nation than sacred or you're going to focus on sacred with crappier bless scales and less cash to get archers because you're using them on sacreds and have crappier scales.
