Can you tell me about the Fountain of Blood?

[Jarkko]

An awake Fountain of Blood is great only in Blitz games when you intend to lock out the opponents capital with Rain of Toads as soon as possible. A cheap trick which has no counters really (few people would go for the domes initially in a blitz), but can give a nasty suprise to anybody who intends to use some super-troops who are capital only. Of course your troops have to be able to halt the initial attack of the opponent, but if you can manage until you've researched Blood 4, you are safe. Then just let the toads rain (with the free slaves the fountain has attracted during the time spent on research) on the enemy capital and feel clever. You won't make many friends with this strategy though...
