Serpent Cult Pythium

[The_Tauren13]

F9 makes serpent cataphracts well worth the cost, and almost makes hydras worth it. Of course, I always play with mods... with which I think both of those troops are cheaper. Id say your best bet long term is making a bunch of clams... And never forget the lamias. Always good. Lamia queens, too.

Pythium is among the weakest? Hmmm, I didn't realize that.

For base, I tend to go with an SC that has e4+ the blessing helps communicants survive battles, and earth is a good thing for SCs anyways.

Yeah, serpant cult is pretty tough... hydras just arn't very good, even with a good bless.

Hmm, misphrased that. I meant to say only serpent cult is one of the weakest.

e9n9 is the best. maybe earth mother pretender. But serpent cult has weak magic, maybe the weakest. Altough this blessed hydras are the toughest recruited unit in the game and i like it.

what about e9/n9 neifel jarls? they are tough. and yes it has poor magic and expensive units (and by making hydras good you limit your pretenders magic)

[Oversway]

Yeah I think niefels would have a chance to win.

Maybe knights or templars with their lances. White Centaurs maybe.

If you count void summons.... they are tougher

but tough ones are hard to get (w9 vastness ftw!). my f9 n9 centaurs might be ok vrs hydras multiple (very high strength when berserk) flaming attacks, regen and poison resistance (and my heirophant thugs have 5 attacks )
