CBM Pretenders
There was a recent post in the CBM thread about the Lord of the Gates pretender being overpowered. I figured that if it hadn't been used much then it must not be that good. So I decided to give it a shot in SP and see how it worked out. To my surprise, it actually worked QUITE well as a variation on the usual early game SC.
My question to you is, have you really tried the other pretender chassis that CBM buffs, and have you ever been surprised by your success?
Also, any advice for using your unorthodox pretender design would be great, maybe we can expand the variability of new games.
I took my LotG with MA C'tis, Dom 9, E4 D5, O3 S2 H3 D1 L3 M1. The spawning shades allow him to expand w/out equipment from turn two, and he can easily take just about any indy province with less than 60 defenders by turn 4 as he gains more and more shades. Later on you can equip him and use him as an SC, and his shades provide great arrow decoys and lance absorbers.
