The Ancient Olm, a viable strategy?

[Itchykobu]

I've been railing the CPU-controlled enemy Drakaina that Atlantis has been using. Maybe the CPU is just horribly misusing her, but my Olm has been eating her for breakfast.

(do Olms eat breakfast?....)

What I've been liking about the Olms is their 0 supply usage. I have several armies of "better" troops, that keep running out of food.

My Olm armies are steam-rolling the opposition on numbers alone and require 0 supplies on top of it all, while my others are dying of disease.

I didn't think Olms were recruitable or summonable--I thought you only got them as multiheroes. How do you get enough Olms for supply to be an issue?

I'm pretty sure he's referring to the Agarthans themselves there. They have NNE, which is an incredible boon of course, if only they could face LA Ermor.....

Agartha, by the way, isn't just a name the Devs made up.

Pretty interesting stuff.

My bad. I meant the pale folk of all sorts. Pale Ones, Wet Ones, Cave Guard .....

You're right Tifone, but it DOES say that Patala is IN Agartha.

Yah, along with Ulm, Lanka, Marignon and Caelum, didn't you know u n00b??????????

Some people have a real gift for incomprehensibility.

The Ancient Olm would be a great Pretender candidate for allowing it to have access to it's own set of spells. Weird summons, strange underground magicks, claustrophobia induced fear-effects, etc. Still determined, ofcourse, by the paths you chose for it, as a player.
