Need advice - MA Nation, Strategy and Pretender

[Shovah32]

I wish it could provide health, wealth and happiness. I would settle for one of those TC minus 10 year spells. If beer would remove 10 years per night of consumption (I'm thinking it would be like gems, it takes several to cast the spell) I would currently be -35,678 years old, give or take a week.

Impossible. My testing of this - both in and out of game - has proven that one cannot go below age 0.

If internal alchemy was really beer, it'll explain why it AGES 10 extra years per cast.

PoD is not available to MA TC and neither is Moloch.

Order 3, Prod 3, Heat 3, Death 2, Turmoil 2, Magic 1?

vfb corrected that Prod to Sloth, but you can't have Order 3 AND Trumoil 2, so I'm guessing the 2 grenades are misfortune making that Order 3, Sloth 3, Heat 3, Death 2, Misfortune 2 and Magic 1

Not good tiles, but he has to pay for Dominion and pretender's magic levels somewhere.

Oops yeah, grenades are Misfortune, not Turmoil. Probably what Sombre meant anyway.

Order 3 - Misfortune 2 is no problem really, especially when Death is only at 2.

Magic 1 is just as good as Magic 2, except actually it's better because it's cheaper .

And bad scales with high dominion are actually good. If I push my dominion into an enemy province, they don't get the good scales (Order). So those provinces end up with Order-0, Sloth-3, Heat-3, Misfortune-2, Death-2, which can give some unpleasant random events.

I wouldn't be so sure about misfortune. You can survive and then live well or you can have bad luck and you can lose the game withing 10 turns because of misfortune. And taking misfortune and death is almost suicide. You get extremely nasty events together [though some need death3]. Heat 3 is also not so nice, it does not have only that visible effects And connected with Death 2 would make really tiny supply limit.

Anyway, what do you need that points for? That would make 740 points for pretender and dominion strength... he won't take ultra bless with TC.

I like the very effiecent Lady of fortune:
Awake.
S6W4
Dom 6 with 2 plus scales:

The cold 1 scale because your opponents like it hot.

[vfb]

Nice choice for the Growth and Cold icons! But I would have done a clover instead of a die for Luck. And I think the pink brain is more color-coordinated and thematic for Magic research.

[FedSlayer]

Okay, I give up on irc and java chat.

vfb is taking an AWAKE Dragon with F9, so he has to tkae those scales.

My problem is now deciding what to do about an awake dragon and all those bandor log sacred troops with +4 attack and fire weapons.
