Tir na n'Og Strategy

[Lingchih]

Does anyone have a good Tir na n'Og strategy? Because I know I don't, and I'm about to have to play them in an MP game. The units are cool, and they are fun to play, but I have no idea what to do with them in MP. They seem a little weak.

Thanks

A strong bless is a good start. Tuatha can chew through pretty much anything with a good bless behind them. F9W9 Tuatha eat Palankashas for breakfast, for instance.

Soothing Song + Thunderstrike spamming Sorceresses are their main strength. The sacred Tuatha warriors are nice, but I think they don't worth a high blessing. Since this race has no S&D, you have to take S&D in your pretender. So a rainbow mage will be more suitable.

1) Take cyclops pretender
2) E9W4 bless
3) ???
4) Profit

Sidhe lords make awesome raiders with said bless (and some equipment) and they can be easily deployed anywhere via cloud trapeze. Tuathas are quite formidable without any bless at all but this bless makes them really hard to kill, which is great as you can have them hold the line while sorceresses lay down some never ending thunderstrike love.

Use the spell songs for they are great. Sidhe champions are ideal for this job and you should put some in the front lines just for this reason. They are equally great in the back row removing fatigue from sorcs as mentioned in the above post.

Take order and lots of it. Take death because your mages aren't going to die of old age anytime soon. Magic scale is also recomended.

Thanks everyone. I'm starting to get a handle on them. They are a bit like Vanheim, I think.

You can take indi shamans for the spell songs

They get slaughtered up close though.
