Painful Experiences from Battle Turn Limits

[Executor]

True, F9 W9 S9 is a very good bless but not really for everyone just for experienced players.
With that strategy you shouldn't have too much dominion but you have to be careful not to be dominion killed.
And I don't think I'd ever go with nature either 6 or 9,
regeneration is nice but 3-4 HP per turn well... I think that's only for giants, however berserk now that something, I'd rather go with N9 then S9 for bless but in the long run S9 is more useful ( wish and arcain nexus ) , but then again it all depends on your overall strategy.

Hey, I am playing Mictlan too! I am using a Smoking Mirror with F9W4S4D3B4, and it is working for me both for blesses and magic diversity - I maybe regret not having taken another point in astral, as now I don't have a very easy access to Astral Corruption

Rain of Jaguars - I was in love with it in early game ^^ quite easy to cast, it's exactly like pride of lions, costs the same amount of N gems, but jaguars, while having 1hitpoint less, are SACRED! So they strongly benefit from the blesses I took for the Jaguar Warriors.
And it's damn thematic. I mean, enemies trying to rout after an heavy impact with my Jaguar Warriors, being surrounded and devoured by fierce jaguars from the deep jungle... wowowz ^^

I wouldn't really have much use of magic diversity, small map and difficult research, high bless is the best tactic...

I shouldn't have taken Mictlan... and as I see I'm filling this thread with nonsense so I'm going to stop the Mictlan talk.

However if you have any suggestions regarding small map with hard research and very experienced players bless strategy please PM, cause I'm lost.

Please ignore me... it's been raining whole day and I'm bored

I always felt that the turn limit represented the fact that the defender owns the province, so when the attacker fails in a tactical strike to kill the defender's armies, the defender rallies the peasants and smashes anyone remaining in the province.

That being said, my most unfortunate turn limit battle involved a 200 marble warrior army backed by Will of the Fates cast by that one artifact sword. I slaughtered hundreds without taking any losses, but not enough before the limit ran out and I lost an army worth hundreds of gems.
