Re: standard pangenea : usefulness of maenards ? or rely on blood ?
I use maenads for patrolling and bolstering he morale of other units. If I get too many I send them off to attack someplace to raise the experience of some of my commanders.
The really fun thing about Maedads, and why I hope they NEVER go away, is what happens when Pans (or Lord of the Wild) sneaks. If you have NO troops already assigned to you, then the maenads dont showup on the troop line, but up in the assign queue. If you are sneaking then they attack the province.
As a harrassing tactic its great. No two-step (move, do something, move, do somthing). All you have to do is move around. Every province you just left will have an attack report. If an opponent isnt spending money on defense it can be very irritating.
Also fun if you give the black heart that gives assassin skills to them. Do an assassination, see a probing attack on the province, do another assassination, see a probing attack. You dont have to guess about when you got the Last commander. And its really funny to see that Last army run away from a few wild naked women.
