MA Agartha, or Yet another thread fishing for tips

[atul]

Heh, surprised much? The point of liking Agartha is not looking too closely at its A) different era brothers or B) same era competitors.

Oh boy, I've been mistaken with the dwarven hammer for a while. Forget anything I've said with regards to that.

I know its only the AI, but only one Golem Crafter and 12 Attentive Statues faced off against seventy units AND WON.

I think perhaps (from my very little experience) the golems are MA Agartha's real strength. Seems to me they are pretty good.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Yeah. But watch what happens when the pop your mage. All your golems turn into a fine mist of blood the next turn. Ouch.

On the plus side, it seems like you can take your high dominion bonus into enemy territory.

[llamabeast]

Make sure you have at least two mages with them then, I guess.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Can one take over? Is it tied to the presence of a mage, or the presence of just their squad leader?

[llamabeast]

Any mage will do, the fact that it's their squad leader doesn't matter. Basically as I understand it magic units die if your magic leadership on the battlefield drops to zero. So long as you have a mage left with non-zero magic unit leadership (even if there are more magic units than he could lead), you're fine. That's how I think it works anyway.

You could do a test, perhaps - take two mages into battle, with as many golems as they can lead. Have one of them stand at the front and get killed. I think the golems will all still be fine.

Good idea for my practice game, thank you. Probably easiest to do with Earth Readers.

It also seems that they can carry a high dominion bonus with them into a low dominion area.
