Tip: Ba'al and Unrest

[Redeyes]

Well, I did mean that everything Ashdod does is unique, just that it's one of those strengths that aren't readily apparent but can be capitalized on, like their mild inoculation against flaming arrows/fire bless or cheap Slingers to leverage with buffs/use as wall breakers/as patrollers.

If you want to break it down to every component part T'ien Ch'i has an advantage in the Minister of Magic, though I think that holistically Ashdod is just as "quick" a researcher due to their ability to expand and great benefit from going construction early; T'ien Ch'i can't leverage magic items as well as Ashdod thugs.
