Most hated race MA?

If you start with no astral you should plan to have plenty by midgame.

The race i have played the most especially against human players is ulm. But I use the ghost king pretender, and i give him 4 nature, 3 air, 2 astral, 5 death, 2 water. I also sleep him, and take 2 cold, so i can also take 3 order, prod, and 1 growth.

If you put 2 astral on a pretender in MP some clever so and so will Mind Duel you, dead pretender...

Also in MP you have no idea who you are going to be starting near, so its very difficult to justify designing your pretender to counter 1 nation.

Another problem is are you going to design a pretender to make up for your nations weaknesses or to emphasize its strengths or to help achieve the victory conditions or just to help you expand quickly or to have them blesses on your sacreds?

Theres not enough design points to cover everything.

Yeah, fortunately the people i play against play ermor with 10 death, and giants, pretty much exclusively. So they do not really have any high level astral mages to mind duel me.

And the computer rarely does a mind duel. In a multi player game, against unknown opponents, i would likely give him zero astral, and try to dispel using other enchantments.

Most enchantments do not bother me, since we have a "house" rule against burden of time, and any spells that kill population in provinces. That came from dom II when Ermor and vamp queen(prenerf) were very rough to counter, and impossible with burden of time being recast after every dispel. Luckily we never changed the rule even though ma ermor is no that imposing.

I usually play man in MA and ermor has molested me early on more then a couple times... Crappy priests and mediocre dominion is a bad combination when faced against hordes of undead. I consider myself lucky if I manage to turn out enough monks to defend against Ermor

Uhh... buh ...? Turn 4 assault doesn't bode well for Pan??? Almost EVERY game I see a pan, I expect an e9n4 or so bless from a gorgon pretender that can kick the as out of anything with her dom 10 petrify of doom ...
