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

Alright Keir,

I can honestly say that I've played quite a few maps now with my Celestial Masters and as long as I got one with anything but Blood I found quite a few sites. You were just unlucky I feel.

In my experiance for Barbarian Kings (best to worst):

Celestial Master base (1 Fire, 1 Air, 2 Water, 1 Astral, 3 Holy)


1 Death

1 Nature

1 Earth

The death nets you a bunch of death gems, things like: Battlefield, Burial Mound, Catacombs, Banefire Braziers, Mausoleum, Witches Bog, Gallows.

Nature gets you some good'ns too. Also it's very easy to get Amazons who can actually use the damn gems.

Earth is the Last, because it lets you forge a bunch of good items, it's like a Last desperate ditch effort, I wouldn't seriously use him as a searcher unless I was trying for something specific and I wouldn't use him only.

Hope that helps.

Edit: P.S. I find it a little hard to go back to a race with such focused searchers. I don't have all these options with them. Not that it's bad; just feels different when I don't have a billion different gem incomes.
