Question: Dragons in combat

[Torgon]

There's no reason you can't both have fun and try to win. I've pulled off lots of fun stuff with stealthy raiders/elite forces while I'm trying to at least make a respectable showing. I'm no vet but I've had my share of victories. Stealth is extremely powerful, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Just don't be naive about being able to stealth entire armies around. It's just not really possible. You're going to get detected if you're moving more than a group of 10 or so units around with most leaders.

Stealthy armies just don't really work in practice. Resign yourself to that fact, and then go have lots of devious fun with Skaven's Vermin Lords, Man's powerful warden raiders, or Mothers leading teams of Moose around to hold up castle walls, or pangea's revelers leaving unrest in their wake, or flying morrigan teams plunging out of the clear sky.

Stealth is awesome and one of my favorite parts of the game, just be realistic about what it can do and can't do.

Part of the problem seems to be that the great scouts and stealth armies of Pangaea dont mean much unless there is some extensive wilderness between the players capitals. The same with Pangaea Pan/Assassins which takes some time to do. Even their built-in preference for casting distance attacks.

OR using Caelums ability for checker-board movement. or the ability of some nations to use ships.

Most MP games are on maps too small or just not setup for such tactics. Some nations just strike me as more fun solo than effective mp. Just IMHO of course.

If the purpose of your stealth is to be hidden, I don't really see the point in SP. The program knows where you are so the AIs know too. In MP of course it's fine.
