I (as EA Pangaea) used against chrispedersens Tien Chi (in the Magellan game) a Dryad with decent equipment (including flying boots) and a flying carpet to carry along 7 revellers. I had previously tried with a dryad and 6 revellers against Marverni PD, and I lost that force, so I decided to slap on flying boots too. With revellers I was able to kill even a TC PD which had a mage helping the PD, deep inside Mictlan lands (never quite figured how there could be TC province so deep inside Mictlan lands, but I found it and I was able to sneaky fly in there in two turns through the Mictlan lands). Later on 1 Harpy with carpet + 7 revellers proved to be just what the doctor did order to take out Mictlan PD (although that experiment stopped too soon, as flying became impossible with eternal storm going on for I don't how many turns).

I hadn't planned for flying sneakers in that game, but as Arcopythera happened to join me in the game, so it became rather natural. Flying sneakers + conventional sneakers + gazillions of manikin+maenads proved to be very nice in that game

Sure jarkko.. but you left out the part where I was already at war with 2 neighbors....

Almost anything wins in those circumstances... I'll be happy to go 1:1 with you EA-Mictlan vs Pan.

Ah right, I keep on forgetting you claimed to be at war with Marverni too, rather than trying to claim the spoils of war after Pangaea had done all the fighting and conquering, and that you thought you could instead go and declare war on Fomoria and rely on bullying me off of my conquests

LOL.. that was two people.. PLUS marverni. who I attacked way before you did...
like I said.. anytime= )

Jeff: even with turmoil 3, with 4 national heros you still only have a 1.5% chance per turn of getting the harpy. Not exactly something worth planning a build around.
