I'm pretty sure that even with a strong bless, expanding with Knights of Avalon for all but the first expansion party with your prophet is at least as efficient as doing so with Wardens. As you say, they can be led by indy commanders and don't require you spend 400 gold like turn 3 to get indy priests for additional expansion parties, or waste capital recruitment on nonmages.

Knights of A are great But its not just initial expansion, its also the first couple wars you find yourself in. Blessed wardens coming out of 3 or 4 castles can steamroll in a few early wars, especially if you make full used of their stealth, leaving you very well off coming into the mid and late game. You'll just never have enough knights for them to be more than niche plus they're still fairly expensive.

Well, from personal experience I can tell that Wardens with E9 N4 bless accumulate stars fast, with archer support eat Machaka/Bandar sacreds for breakfast and generally have very low attrition rate.

Nightfall, go to irc.gamesurge.net #dominions. And stick around for a while. Some people that are banned here had some disagreements with your ideas about bless nations.

Some?!? Think you left out an 'a' and two 'l's there Soy.


But it's funny to see newbs and patzers playing theory Dominions. They make me laugh. If Matrix was here, he'd laugh too.

I'm happy to admit that I'm still mostly a newb Calahan, but I also have some direct multiplayer experience with both major bless MA Man and MA Mictlan in CBM 1.92, how many of the people dismissing me out of hand can say the same.

Care to elaborate? Not everyone has a chance to get on the IRC channel. Wouldn't mind hearing some other opinions especially if they come from vets.

I'm personally of the opinion that you're not allowed to insult people for ignorance if your also not willing to try to do anything about it.

It would also be nice if everyone turned down the heat a little bit in this conversation. We are talking about a game with little men who cast magic spells after all (a very fun one but still a game). Lets try to have fun.

Considering getting minor E/S, there are also Mercs to consider.

Stay calm chaps.
