Yeah Sauro has had crazy fast expansion, but I know that if I had decent early game troops I'd probably be attacking him next turn, so there has to be others considering it.

As it is though, early game aggression just isn't an option for me.

Giving Awe to Ri's was not a good call, out of the box Awe + Glamour + 23 Def + sacred self buff + Air magic for 330 gold is a trainwreck, if you think Eagle Kings are good, CBM Ri's are now tons stronger and cheaper.
