Bogarus advice

[TheMenacer]

I don't know if you necessarily need an SC for expansion. I generally have a pretty easy time of it in SP with the swordsman infantry, who compare pretty favorably to light infantry, a handful of the really good cavalry units and a whole mess of the crappy archers being shuttled around by my prophetized starting commander set to smite constantly.

Given the reasonable effectiveness of that, I can't help but imagine that once you switch to using battlemages instead of just your one guy smiting individual targets, you'll really tear some [edit: haha, whoops. Gotta watch that language.] up.

Obviously that's not gonna protect you from other SC pretenders or bless rushes, but Bogarus benefits like crazy from a rainbow pretender because it's got tons of diversity, but no water or nature and it can't get to boosters in many of the paths it does have.

Also this has nothing to do with troops, but you can take cold 3 in pretender design for extra points, since all of your troops are cold resistant you don't feel any negative effects but the loss of income.
