fomorian guide?

[Adept]

Fomori advice from a victorious multiplayer game.

The big sacred Fomori are good vanity items, but require a powerful blessing to truly be worth it. I got a death 9, Nature 4, Earth 4 blessing, which meant that as soon as I got a Fomorian King for a prophet, I had a SC that's tougher than most pretenders, and has no urgent need for equipment.

But like I said, the big fomorian giants are vanity items. What I actually focused on was the Nemedeians. Insanely skilled medium infantry with magical weapons and very nice magical shields and armour. They were so awesome I hardly bought anything else in my capital all game.

You have guaranteed access to high lvl Death 3+ and air 3+ magic. I went all out to research up to Thunder Strike and Shadow Blast as early as I could, and was the absolute early game military juggernout. Make sure to search for death sites. It's not subtle, but it sure is powerful. Arrow Fend is good too.

Don't underestimate the little firbolgs either. Those guys have great stats, and it's not like the enemies will have much equipment either.
