Some joy with Mictlan

[PvK]

Turn 17:

Doing a lot better. That contract brings one devil per turn - not bad at all. Had a conflict with a major C'tis army of over 50 lizard men and wiped them out with the Air Force. Two castings of Summon Imp hit a side unit, which wouldn't be a big deal except it split their army in half as half of them went to kill imps. Then 6-7 devils & fiends with about 16 Eagle Warriors descended and within a turn or two their whole army broke and ran, without even having killed any commanders. I had a ground force there too which wasn't even needed.

Oh, both "gem" income and research have remained in the running in the stats throughout the game. I think I can get 2-3 demons or fiends per turn at this point, and I don't think I've lost any so far, so I think things are looking up somewhat, as long as no one's uber army shows up too soon.

Oh yeah thats tough. I'm being somewhat more cautious and taking on 8 impossible on the Desert Eye which leave a fair amount of room.

A huge part of playing Mictlan seems to be not getting into early wars - they just haven't got the grunt. This is scary for MP when everybody knows it.

Mictlan gets some nifty heroes also.

Mictlipoctli the King of Legends: a mummy with Death 3, Blood 3 and Unholy 3.

Quetzalcoatl the Feather Serpent: a couatl who has Astral 3, Nature 3, Blood 2 and Holy 4 and can assume human form.

Very nice - thanks for the info. I'm tempted to go to misfortune 2 so I get a chance of getting these guys.

I think I've found at least one rather strong Blood technique, though it requires something Mictlan doesn't come with originally. Hmm.

Does misfortune 2 really give you a chance at the heroes? Because I have tried it and never seem to get a hero unless I'm misfortune 1 or better.
