They are the weakest nation in the middle era! They have charlatan mages, heretic priests, only militia units and their castles are made from papyrus. If they survive to the end game they can summon Bug Beasts. Tiny little cuties easy to squash.

They actually sound like a nation that could use a strong bless strategy (this coming from a newb, of course). Their magi can't be used as an asset in the mid to end game, and their units are too weak to make a strategy using super-scales better. If they can recruit or summon the Gath angels right off the bat, and if said angels are sacred, then their priests can accompany the army to bless and lower enemy dominion at the same time. It might not be very hard to equip a priest to go stealth-preach in an enemy capital, either. They sound like a very priest-oriented nation

Also, if you want weak, check out MA Ulm. Poor magic resistance, prone to being rushed whether they can survive or no, no sacreds, all expensive men. I'd list their strengths, too, but that's not the point of pointing out painful weaknesses, is it?

Ulm is not that weak any more, iron blizzard is a very ugly spell, he is cleaning out knights like militia (I almost think that shields dont parry the bolts). They will still lack in the lategame and elephants still eat them, but they are not so weak now.

btw. and LA Ulm is one of the strongest nations in the game, burkhart nachtzehrer alone can kill an entire nation

Like I said, I was pointing out weaknesses. I could hammer out a rough list of strengths, too, if I wanted, but that wasn't the purpose of my list. So just weaknesses got in.

Besides, I have a rough strategy for surviving rushes and not being attacked (quite probably won't work, but oh well).

Baruk, there are no more starting spots i can add. 61 was a tight squeeze. Some players are already going to start in fairly tight quarters, though there is at least 2 provinces between starting capitals.

There is still hope for some alternates, as real life may require an additional player or 2 to drop out before the game starts.

And someone could take Dr. P up on his offer and play the Niefel Giants 1st 7-8 turns. The start of the game should be quite fun for the heavy bless nations.

Does anyone know of a guide for EA Agartha? im feeling awfuly lost trying to work something out atm.

Try, http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...b=5&o=&fpart=1 .
Last time I was playing around with Agartha I was trying combinations of fire, nature, and earth blesses. If you don't want to go the bless route, trogs work well for expansion.

So, when is this thing going to start. I assume sometime after the latest patch comes out?

I played EA Agartha in the last mega game. Trogs worked great for me until I ran into Mictlan. Bless > Trogs.

My Risen Oracle SC performed very well and only died to a domain glitch. After he went down, I was pretty much doomed.

Combine the above elements with a sound strategy to defeat a bless rush and you should be good to go .
