Re: First Blood - Newbie game - Running
I would definitely have used them for some raiding, but not enough were geared. I went the wrong blessing I think - should have thrown some Earth in there instead of Water. The lack of reinvigoration meant that I needed to add a Girdle of Might or Amulet of Reinvigoration to the Frost Brand / Vine Shield combination for them to be effective.
To be honest the Thug strategy was an afterthought, when I found that my armies were wholly ineffective against your blessing. Were I to play this game a second time, I would have planned on paratroop thugs from turn one. Armies and provincial defense work fine against a computer opponent but are not enough against a human.
