12 turns. 20 Provinces taken. 3 active armies that have seen battle with none needing to back track and a fourth 8 man army ready to start out.

That's a much better expansion rate.

A nice bless, and a powerful SC none the less...

I had to imprison the PoD to get the scales I wanted.

For the boar warriors, the death was a tad bit less effective than the fire bless when I started attacking other nations.

The bless obviously was insane for the druids once I started spamming evocations. Even blade wind was dealing heavy afflictions to the enemies depending on their armor etc.

Communion was a bit rougher than I expected, and I required many slaves for every master, even then I suffered more losses than I normal do when I set up communions.

Overall it was a fun test. I am not really into Marverni, and I don't think that is going to change, although it might after I read Baalz guide.

Haha, it usually does.

Yes, sure, i supposed it was imprisoned. I didnt mean an "awake" SC, but he will be a powerful SC in turn 36 anyways.

Wouldn't Phoenix be a good choice? Especially with CBM and built-in Phoenix Pyre... You can get F9 bless + some air magic for diversity. Bless is not insane, but can help you quite. And you can get dormant one with not so bad scales. Or imprisoned and add more scales/magic. But dormant phoenix with phoenix pyre combined with cheap temples seems like idea worth trying.

It's worth mentioning that in CBM where the spell iron pigs is significantly discounted, the spell ROCKS for marverni. Instead of iron pigs they get iron boars who have far better stats, are sacred and of course have the whole iron=high prot thing going on. With a nature/water bless they are pretty damn frightening.
