You don't have to find Sages, you can find Lizard Shamen, Enchantresses, Wizards, Azure Mages, Amazons, pretty much anything that has a decent cost/research ratio that will let you mass recruit searchers while your Blood Economy is driven by Capital Recruitments (and hopefully an Indep, Amazons are good for this since they often come with Blood.)

Oh, don't get me started on how good the Garnet Amazons are... a singularly nasty Sacred troop that's worth every gold of its cost (unlike the Wind Rider in most people's eyes), and 100g Sacred FB Bloodhunters. It can make anyone a Blood nation.

BTW, I thought people had reported a bug with the Gryphon Riders not fighting after the rider dies... I saw it happen in a 2.12 game. I'd almost pay 125g for the Gryphon by itself...

In a recent testbed (2.12) 2 provinces connected to my capital were populated by Garnet Amazons. IIRC both were wastelands.

The variant I see the less is the Crystal Amazons.

Even discounting the provinces where they are set on various maps, I run across a Garnet Amazon province every now and then.

I've never seen a Crystal Amazon one, though.

But has anyone seen the Garnet Amazons in Dominions 2? Post 2.06 or so? IIRC, there was a poll and no one had seen them since Dom1.
