Getting the max out of MA Agartha

[coobe]

Hey

im currently toying around with MA Agartha and find it very frustrating. I got the feeling it is by far the worst early game nation.

negative aspects
- expensive sucky troops
- no ranged troops
- mediocre moral values
- "elite troops" cold blooded (not a big deal but still..)
- low precision troops

positive
- amphibian troops
- versatile sacred mages
- interesting pretender chassis (ancient oracle, mother of monsters)

how to survive early game ? i think there is no way around a sc pretender. and what about the thematic golems ? no real option for the early game, but you need to get a foundation if you want to spam them later...

advices, thoughts are very welcome
