If you buy lava warriors you can't buy researchers. You're outgunned in research. And you can't blood hunt well too. How can you only hope to grab the big Devils if you have in the same game any other blood nation?

Lava warriors will get arrowed very easily by any xbow province. They've no shield.

You assume Pangea is in ... and not always is, and often is of a theme that doesn't allow to forge fever fetishes, and it's not easy to kill another pretender.

They lack of mobility even if they're immune from overland artillery, any cloud trapezing mage capable of wrathful skies will kill all your army with ease.

Caseus you should try multi-player!!

I have found that the AI becomes really predictable in SP after quite a few games. In MP your human opponents really stretch your knowlege of the game - Even if you are not doing well, its worth while to stay in the game to try out a few things or learn a few new tricks.

Sure you can. You can buy 1 or two lava warriors a turn, and a researcher every turn.

This has been explained to you many times Cohen. You use your warlock apprentices as researchers until you have the basic research done. You then switch them to blood hunters to build your armies very quickly.

That's why you have the Anathemant Dragon and Moloch along for fire support.

No, I'm simply pointing out the benefits of diplomacy. It makes you much stronger than any single pretender design ever could.

They won't be able to kill your army that easily, because a cloud trapezing mage will go down very quickly to fire-9 lava warriors. False horrors won't do anything against sacred troops with magical weapons, enormous attack values, and suberb morale. You've also almost certainly got rings of tamed lightning on your SCs, so wrathful skies won't bother them at all.
