Thoughts about Pythium...?

You really should try Pythium. It's amazing. I'm going to probably play it once or twice then move on to other nations because it just seems *too* good.

I can't find an overall national weakness.

Thats why I don't play Pythium. I've been playing Dom long enough now that its more fun to place some restrictions on what I uses and abuses.

Regarding Pangaea you should find this another very powerful race if you focus on the goodies. While it is not all rounded the Centaur Warriors are a truly wonderful unit and I would rate Pangaea third after Pythium and Arco in the top races list just ahead of C'tis. Don't underrate the Pan as they work a treat even for order races (which I recommmend for CW abuse). The fact that the Pan operate on the borders of your dominion mean the opponents dominion is more important than your own for Maenad production. Centaur Cataphracts are a good buy when you need your gold for Pan and make a crunchy center and Dryads are excellent. The white centaurs are good for fast moving CW units. Minotaurs and Satyrs don't rate in my book as they slow you down strategically and stop you building more centaurs.

You should find Iron Faith Ulm more of challenge. Still not sure of a decent approach for this race.

Cheers
