Superheroes dominating Dominions 3 ?

[danm]

Seeing as how everyone keeps crying about how overpowered MA Agartha is, i figured that was the obvious next choice for me ;-)

I decided to just take great scales, and rely on indie troops to tide me through until i figure out what I want to do mid/late game. If nothing else I'll die a happy capitalist with lots of cash...

For the first game i just took the cheapest pretender I could (imprisoned waterfountain with dom5 and astral4 i think... hes not woke up yet...) Once I figure out what Items/spells I really miss, I'll try again with a pretender who can fill those needs without blowing my scales.

Biggest thing I miss so far is DD for skull mentors. I'm addicted to those things, and a 2.5% chance to get DD on a 400 gold elderly capitol only unit isn't quite going to cut it, I fear.

Its a completely different nation strategicly from EA, where the NNE/sacred Ancients realllly reward terrible scales (for bless and to starve incoming armies)

If nothing else, it's a good excuse to learn how to use indies to reasonable effect, as I tend to be attracted to nations that don't play nice with normal humans.

Dont be afraid of their old age for other usage though (blade wind). In my death1 dominion solo game, golem crafters (maxage 48, no death magic) gets age afflictions as often as expected, but Oracle of the ancients(maxage 400, death magic 1) very rarely.

Maxage, death magic, growth scale are the only things that directly affect the age affliction formula iirc. (fire/nature magic has an indirect effect by changing maxage).

Independend bows and big shield wearing Agarthan infantry is nice against AI armies.
