As a man who loves to play MA Pythium with a scales approach (it is one of the few nations where I can allow myself the guilty pleasure of an order 3, production 3 approach and feel that I am not giving up anything important compared to what I gain), thanks for the guide, Baalz. It contains a couple of good reminders.
The ability to field huge fairly tough armies designed to counter whatever threat is currently facing me on a very short notice coupled with an economy strong enough that plopping down 1200g castles everywhere appropriate (in terrain and population level) is one of the greatest joys of the game. Some nations in the game use small elite militaries, special operations teams capable of dealing with practically anything - T'ien C'hi MA uses the enlisted man, drilled to perfection and good at his job but relying on the military as a whole to deal with threats not in his purview.
Re: MA T'ien Ch'i - a little of this, a little of that and BAM!
