You mean one of those "oh god please sing a NAP with me so I have half a chance in this game" nations?


I'm curious about this Mictlan-Priest-centric strategy, as I am quite fond of M3 on a nation that has incredibly low cost research mages. Also, I can see good uses for all variants of the Priest, as the game progresses (though the N variant's best use is as your research baseline while the rest get more busy).

I may try them again in SP just to see..... I'd personally use a bit different bless though, I'm not sure. That's one of my biggest problems with Mictlan, I can't find a bless that I really feel is a game winner, and for the cost, F9/W9 just doesn't give me that vibe (playstyle playstyle playstyle ).


Oh, and I seem to remember a certain person making ample use of Sky Priests..... Arrow Fend handily stopped 20 Nether Darts spamming Starspawns from annihilating an army.

Yeah, arrow fend can do that.

Combine with antimagic for maximum effect.
