abysia strategies

[Caseus]

Thanks for the comments!

I appreciate knowing what works in multiplayer, but I play exclusively single player games.

Years ago I played a lot of VGA Planets. I have found those who play multiplayer games to be ultracompetitive to the point where any semblance of fun in the game is gone. After reading the Norfleet threads, I am convinced Dominions 2 is no differently, sadly.

I prefer Watchtowers over Castles for several reasons:

1. cost to build -- 150 gold is a lot, especially early on
2. time to build -- 1 less turn is huge when you're at war
3. 80 design points are not insignificant

I build watchtowers everywhere. Watchtowers reduce enemy army speed by 50%. In the turn it takes the AI to seige my watchtower, I fly or teleport in reinforcements.

I forgot about Enchantment 1. I tried fire shields in my current game and found them quite fun.

In single player, it's pretty easy to get Air Queens out the door. However, the point about Air is well taken. I might take 2 Air and put the points elsewhere. I checked my design and my Great Warlock does have 3 Death but no Nature.

What is a good combat pretender for Abysia?
