T'ien Ch'i, and how they rule!

The reason I see to take the Jade Emperor over Fortune is easier access to Crystal shields. I'm hoping crystal shields will unleash the full potential of Celestial Mages.

So far my Oracle (Astral3, Earth2 for CS) Spring and Autumn race has failed miserably. I had a great run of luck in one game using Fortune and the Barbarians but though I'm still playing turmoil3/luck3 I haven't had much luck since. If I start close to an AI I get overrun in short order while tough indie's are really hard to beat without the Lance armed cavalry to charge down their Heavies. Bring on extra Chariots I say.

From the explanation given there seems to be no special affinity between the Lady of Fortune/Jade Emperor and turmoil/luck races. The otherside of the coin is it means they are an interesting choice for an order/misfortune race that still wants good events. Not the way I hoped it worked but there you go.

Cheers
