Default Talk about this God....

Abysia (default theme)

Moloch (Fire-9, Air-1, Blood-4)

Turmoil - 3
Productivity - 3
Heat - 3
Fortune - 2
Dominion Str. 3

With the Fire and Blood bless effects, my sacred units get:

1. Flaming Weapoons
2. Attack Skill +2 (or, is this actually more since I have Fire-9 ???)
3. My Moloch will be able to cast Aim (since he has a level in Air Magic), helping my **early** fire mages' Precision.
4. Strength +2 due to the Blood-4.

So, I wanted Abysia to be an up close and personal bring it to ya and layeth the smackdown type of Nation. So, with Flaming Weapons, Attack Skill up 2+, and strength up +2....they should be able to stand up and fight. And, with my mages (eventually at any rate) being able to utilize Aim, they can offer great magic support.

So, what do you guys think? With all this talk about race design and all, well, I wanted to get in on this too. So, this is actually my first Pretender design really focusing on the different things.

Please feel free to dissect this design, and tell me what you would choose and why, and why you wouldn't choose the things I did....only way to learn really

Fire 9 gives +4 Attack, Flaming Weapons.

Blood 4 is alright but you would be better off with Nature unless you are trying to do something with demons.

Only your pretender can cast Aim. If you want something you can use on all your mages you may want to look into something that gives precision that you can forge, or just hope for 1 nature (Eagle Eyes) or 1 Air (Aim) on your Warlocks.

If you are going 3 paths you might not want to pick a Moloch.

You can also only make 3 Lava Warriors per turn intitially until you pump your domain. Though this may not matter with having such a low gold income but high production.

Edit: Take a look at the Lord of the Desert Sun for a good Nature/Fire combination. He is the easiest to get to 9/9.

what about dropping the Blood path, and just focusing on Fire and Air?

also, would probably add more to the Dominion Str. also....but why Nature? For Eagle Eyes?

well, it probably would be better to take just Fire & Air magic. then put the rest into Dominion probably....maybe even be able to add more into Luck and possibly (??)

Why are you picking Air? Just for Aim? Or other reasons.
