MP: Silicon Wolves, GAME ON! (again) See OP for additional details

[Finalgenesis]

Yeah I pretty much threw the asnja out randomly without scouting seeing there's no intelligent opposition anymore (I'll have to check the turn later today to see what happened), I didn't even swap out her anti-thug setup to anti-swarm setup.

I've avoided your gigantic Hinnom army haha hoping you'd pull some out toward South, the worst that can happen is C'tis making headway in the south and weaken you as we stare at each other (of course, if you can still push C'tis back with hinnom forces stuck up north...). I'd never attack that army head on anyway without recharging my GoH hp bonus for my main army first. Plus I hated moving my big armies, the scripting and micro involved is just too much with a 48 hrs host interval. I didn't even move my 2nd or 3rd smaller main army up from the backfield...

For anti-chaff setup I think the common lore is to have a couple out of ethereal, luck, vine, awe+fear, regen, mistform, prot + low fatigue ...etc

The less common ones are Fshield, Ast shield, BV ..etc

You'll have to tailor a bit to what type of chaff you face, and of course a anti-thug/SC set up is somewhat mutually exclusive to an anti-chaff set up, going generalist build will never be as effective.

eg. ethereal is useless vs magic weapons, thus ice weapon nations or unfrozen warriors and so on. fear+awe is amazing and highly recommended as chaff defense... but completely useless on emotionless chaffs (skeletons...etc). Fshield from charcoal shield is a bit niche but especially effective against low armor (low hp and multi attack a plus) chaff like skelly spam and VoTD, but useless vs armored troops. Prot is very important but you have to keep fatigue low, should almost always have some level of prot as a base.

Well... There's nothing better then experience, since we've called it game anyway, want to have random SC melees and we throw our SCs at each other without having to be careful? Or hell I'll just move some of my stuff onto your stack of 2 dozen Jarls this turn, I'm sure we'll both pick up a few things watching that!
