Guide: Yet Another Hinnom Guide

[Dragar]

I agree with Baalz as to scales over bless.. remember, having higher production and luck result in higher income, and the Repahite Warrior has a very high gold to resource ratio - relying on Dawn Guards and Chariots you need far less cash to build your army

In terms of the pop eating and unrest, I'd look to find a second fort spot as quickly as possible, forest with low population. Accept that the population will drop to zero very quickly and use it as your research and holding spot for all of your troublesome commanders. They don't need supplies so as long as you keep no troops there you have no problems.
