EA Arco - uncle moneybags

[aaminoff]

Why the heck are you recruiting skeptics instead of mystics?

It's a matter of choosing which path you want to take to defeat your opponent. Arco is never going to win trying to go toe to toe with the big combat powers. So instead I would invest a bit in sceptics and try for the dom kill. Admittedly even with Dom10 it is harder without blood sacrifice, but certainly the judicious use of a few sceptics to remove the critical few enemy candles seems vastly easier than defeating their uber blessed army / SC pretender / hordes of chaff. Still, 20 seems like hyperbole unless you are talking about late game. I suppose one should be able to figure out the math for how many sceptics it would take to reliably create a neutral magic scale research center against own dominion.

Does anyone have any comments on the necessity of a minor N bless?
