PBEM Game: King of the Hill 2 (Closed)

[The_Tauren13]

You cant really build any normal troops, though. The upkeep kills you too quickly. By about turn 20, you are down to 10k pop in your capitol. And you need all your money for mages, and even then can only get a couple, once again due to the upkeep. Because of this, you will get almost no research until you get specters, unless you put the carrion lords on research instead of reanimate, in which case you will get absolutely no troops.

So, Im curious, Cainehill, what did your winning Carrion Woods pretender designs look like? The best I came up with was a golden naga with every magic school except death and nature. She could both solo-creep (even against lvl 9 indies, with alt 3) and site search. Then, once I got specters and enough construction, I could forge boosting items with the naga, and actually start doing some usefull stuff.

My mistake this game was getting a pretender incapable of taking indies, and since carrion beasts suck completely for that, I was unable to get any territory. Taking order 3 was a waste, too. I could have traded that order 3 for turmoil 3 and then gotten the naga with the same magic paths as the damn crone, and then even have had points left over.
