Gorgon as aSC?

[KissBlade]

e9dom10 gorgons are pretty affordable in base. And yes, they are kickass SC chassis. =)

Awe is not really useful for the gorgon, but Astral is !
cast luck & Body Etheral, give her 2 shields and boots of Behemots and she can take indep 8 for breakfast

They you have to research a lot. better is just to get a dom10 gorgon and she will be able to take indep 9 since turn 1.

plus, 10 jade maidens a turn (sauromatia gets a gorgon)

alteration 3 is research a lot ? lol !

and an unit strike by Awe is not petrified

It's at least 8 turns in, so you might be dead or have your capital under siege by time you research it.

Completely incorrect. Awe has absolutely no effect on petfirication.

Petrification occured when someone strike (even if he miss) but awe prevent someone to strike

someone awed can try to strike another turn

So
1°) Awe
2°) Strike
3°) Petrification

Alteration 3 and whatever construction level you need. The astral magic is expensive, gives vunerability to magic duel and costs a fair amount of points and, with that many points put into an SC/expansion pretender like a gorgon you would probably want to use it before you would be able to with your plan.

I personally like e9n4 Gorgon, nice bless, great prot and gets really tough when you cast personal regen(too bad you cant get a gorgon for niefelheim )

Ive also experimented with an e9w9n4 gorgon for pangaea. It wasnt worth the cost imo but my sacreds were incredibly tough and the actual pretender... Amazing(great prot and defence, full slots, natural pertrification, ability to buff with regen, quickness, protection and reinvig, fear and just general kickassery)
