Go ahead and put it back on quickhost. I seem to be able to connect to this server ok now.

The game is back on 24hr quickhost. Abysia and Jotunhiem are still out.

So. As the game is progressing I am finding myself drawn away from regular non-summoned troops. I'm sure more summoning death and nature type empires are already far ahead of me in this respect. But since this is a *Recruitable* Rebalance Game, it gave me pause when I started laying out plans for summoning factories and such. Does anyone - particularly SC, since this is not exactly the intent of the game - care?

Actually, I found that I do buy only one troop which I haven't bought in greater numbers before: TC light cav. for patrolling and "hold[+fire] and attack (rearmost)".

Cost changes on other troops didn't matter up to now, as I still do not recruit them. (besides Longbows ..)

Correction: severaly "free militia" events would have made me bankrupt some turns ago

I have found two national troop types that I normally avoid, useful:

*Harpy troops (once in a while I used to use them for patrolling , but normally I just used black hawks)

*White Centaurs

I ended up using about the same amount of satyr hoplites. Other than these, I didn't really buy any national troops. I probably would have used centaur warriors if I hadn't had a bless, but I think that the normal satyr troops and centaur longbows don't have a real niche. If I want a normal army I use hoplites (with independent archer support), if I want a tough stealth squad I use white or warrior centaurs, and if I want light raiders I use harpies.
