Oh also: why difficult research? It seems like it would just further strengthen strong blessable nations which are already very strong in EA.

That can be true, on the other hand it makes them have to survive longer before they can get the high level magic that they will need towards the middle/end game, and do so with horrible scales more than likely. Overall, I don't like how fast some nations can get to level 9 research on easy. The map will be 20 provinces per player, so we'll have some breathing room.

Hmm. Well, I don't think I have anywhere near 20 provinces just yet, and Niefelhelm is already charging headlong into my territories.

Any tips to survive the incoming rush on difficult research will be greatly appreciated.

Oh, and if you happen to be neighbouring Niefelhelm, please PM me.

If you took a bless then your warriors of the 5 elements should be sufficient. If not...

Hmm, might be your best bet regardless, depending on how well their 50% cold resistance holds up.

Their short swords (and wolf tribesmen's daggers) might have trouble punching through winterized armor. Maybe Earth Might at alt-1 and/or Armor of Achilles at alt-2.

Of course, another option is to hit them where they aren't - maybe it's raiding/pillaging time?

Tien Chi is in the market for const lvl2 and lvl4 items! We may also be interested in selling gems for gold.

Please PM me if you are up the tree and interested in trading.

Kailasa has (10) Fire gems for trading. We would prefer Water gems, but will also take Astral or Earth.

A Niefel rush at turn 8 is going to be tough regardless of the map size or research setting. Diplomacy is best weapon at this point in the game I think.
