Newbie Bloodgod in Training - Learning on Mictian

Well, so far, I've had very little problems with being Wind Rided. Etherealization is not really hard to come by, Air-9 lets you cast Dome of Solid Air which will give you a nice antimagic shield over the province, and the one time I *DID* get Wind Rided, my opponent had completely expected to catch something ELSE, and it ended in a very messy bloodbath.

In my experience it is. Especially from Air Heavy Nations if they know you are running around trying to use your /Under-size 6/ /no earth rank/ SC to do anything. The investment vs easy loss is as much a factor as anything else. But if Wind Ride is not used to it's advantage in your experience, I'm sure it won't in the future either.

You may have a point that the virtue is not the best chassis to build a late-game SC on, but nor is it completely unviable. Even late in the game, the Virtue remains a decent chassis thanks to a fair selection of innate abilities and hardpoints for different items.

I never said it was unviable. Throw enough artifacts and spells and empower her to hell and you can make anything a SC. It doesn't mean that a standard Air9 Virtue is much more than a mediocre SC and more of a heavy spell support unit.
