how would you play Mictlan

Ah Mictian, Mictian, Mictian.

So versitile, so hard to play effectively.

The part that always gets me about them is trying to get their blood sacrificing to work. It seems to spread such slow dominion that it really hurts Mic.

The only way I've been able to beat through Impossible AI's (I've only played them once in MP I was on top; but killing units by the droves) is to focus almost totally on Blood Magic and Construction since most of your researchers are going to be blood hunting to summon demons.

If you get lucky and get a Library fairly fast you can switch things up; but I'm never lucky enough to get one in my first 4 provinces.

Their sacred units are very fragile and if you play them with that in mind; it's not hard to play with them. One of the keys to remember is that they are capital only and the best (the Sun Warriors) have 1 movement, while the Eagle (and the nearly useless Jaguar ones) move 2.

I never had enough points to use the Lord of the Night successfully; though I'm sure you could.

Strategic armies of demon summoners are the key.
