Help Design my EA TC Setup?.(CBM 1.71)

[rabelais]

I was mostly interested in the a9 bless because it gave my Wot5E 125% lightning protection whick witha strong air pretender could be fun. Plus once they expected nothing but lightning I could change it up. I'm not trying to be a superweenie optimizer, I just want some kind of interesting synergy.

But I realize the problem with EA TC isn't pretenders (even though these are largely meh and bad for blesses) but that their single recruitable archer is 14 resources and is still totally useless in melee and hasn't enough protection(9)to survive an arrow fusillade.

I'll figure something out I'm sure, but except for map move 2 these are terrible units (and to paraphrase woody allen) you can recruit so few of them. are there worse national archers in EA? Make me feel better, tell me about them.

I thought about the water bless, but the only water 2 pretender I get just got nerfed in 1.7 and I don't know enough about their summons to judge if it is worth the points. Is there an updated summoned creature or national spell resource somewhere?



Thanks for all replies.
