Just convince everyone in the game kill me and I won't have any more state secrets. As it is, we're just hitting mid game and my best stuff hasn't surfaced yet.

Well, if you're just hitting midgame, wouldn't that mean the early game information is available?

And Druids are _scary_ good battlemages, IMO.

Druids are awesome evocation mages with bladewinds, gift of heavens and later enslavemind and soul slay. That is the *only* good thing i can say for Marverni. That alone, however, does not make them any competitive. However, i like Baalz guides so far, so i would bve eager to read this new one as well. I'm pretty sure there is something about this nation i'm not seeing. It cannot be THAT bad as it seems.

I know! Mass slingers! They'll never expect THAT!

Then, evolve into Middle Marignon, and all the slingers will automatically upgrade into Crossbowmen! If you do during the first turn of battle, the crossbowmen will start with volley of slingstones fired from crossbows in addition to their normal quarrel shot!



Somehow I feel that whatever strategy he is using, slingers are only mentioned in the "do not use" category.

Don't be TOO hasty to discount slingers entirely, especially Fir Bolgs (ESPECIALLY Fir Bolgs), Marverni, and Mictlan slingers who wield shields.

Slingers can be a pretty nice chassis for battlefield enchantments like Flame Arrows, Wind Guide, etc. Slingers with shields, especially, can run right up to opposing archers and start laying down the law, without having to deal with their intervening screen. Added to this, they're cheap both in resources and gold... they can be an effective counter to a lot of things, and put out some pretty nice dpt.

I agree, slingers are great if used properly.
