Looks like a good start. I'm not so sure I'm ready to dismiss a light w9 bless for Tien Chi just yet since their heavenly summons are very very good but other than that I agree, S&A is one of those nations that benefits strongly from uber scaled imprisons.

PS. I'm a bit confused by your M5E description. From what I'm reading, it sounds like they get two randoms and one sub random. (as in the case of CM's). M5E's only get one random pick out of the elements and that's it.

Awesome post, Frank! This is good reading for us newbies, I think it helps get a sense of how to handle the global tradeoffs your coping with in nation setup, whether you're playing w/ TC or any other nation. I'd love to see similar nation guides come out on other nations - or have I missed previous such posts?

As a quick note:

Bless strategies get a whole lot easier if you have your A2 celestial master first cast "Power of the Spheres" and then he's capable of blessing the whole battlefield (since he gets one additional holy point as well). This fixes the lack of holy issue that Tien Chi often has.

Great guide. If you're feeling particularly dedicated - you might cover their national summons as they are a pretty large part of your mid-game army.

great guide! I was waiting and hoping for this after reading your advice on TC in another thread.

Any chance of doing the other ages aswell?

Would it be OK to put this in the strategy wiki? With attribution, of course.
