I had pretty good results in other games combining Order and luck. The net difference in amount of events gained is about 22% less, no biggie, but you get 53% more gold with order 3 than 3 turmoil.

but that also costs you 240 points instead of 0.

Turmoil pays for luck. Otherwise you have to pay for both from somewhere else.

I choose turmoil/luck scales because of the Pan's Maenad spawning. With order-3 games I get very few Maenads in my dominion. Anyway, this game I can't even afford the Pans to get the Maenads. My early strategy is to race to Alt-7 and employ hordes of well buffed chaff. I took an awake rainbow sage to do primarily [in order] research, site searching, and forging.

Also sort of key to my early strategy is to get a Pan early on that has Death magic (+25% chance) to summon Carrion Centaurs to reanimate more chaff. My first one did not.

In test games with Magic Sites 60 I often found neato indy mages adjacent to my capital and am relying on them somewhat for diversity. Are there any Amazons in MA? I don't think I've seen any yet.

Last turn Luck netted me 250g and increased pd +15 in my capital. I also had an unrest event.

Yeah, luck is inherently a crapshoot. In a test game I was doing trying out Baalz' EA Caelum strategy I had a vamp count appear in my capital within the first 6 turns. This was with Luck 3!

heh guess I forgot to submit my last turn after doing it. Durrr.

This is the second game in a row where my expansion pretender runs into a giant pile of double bless troops. Straight to the hall of fame!

The good news is I've discovered a dozen air gems and I'm looking to trade them. I need fire, earth, nature, or death gems. Contact me by PM to make a deal.

Where is Ashdod anyway? I can't find a single friggin' scout province! Not that C'tis dominion is helpful at keeping said scouts alive. <_<

Incabulos · #68 January 27th, 2009, 03:00 AM

Ashdod sits North of the East wastelands at around 84

Ermor sends messengers to the four corners of the world...

Here these, the divine words of our Lord Vesper, He Who Walks In Shadow. The so called God of the unholy heretics of Machaka has fallen in battle to the Sacred Host of the 25 Virgins. Now is the time to strike at the spider worshipping heathens, join with Ermor in this struggle that your people may share in the spoils of war!
