Argitoth, back with C'tis

Argitoth · #1 July 12th, 2005, 02:32 PM

Yep, I'm back with my newest C'tis strategy with Desert Tombs. Not only will I have an army of undead more capable than Ermor, I will be putting that gold income to use which Ermor cannot do. "Just more undead fodder, no need to worry." My army will consist of much more than undead fodder. I'll see you over at the MP forum, I'll be looking for an open spot if I don't decide to host a game myself.

Yes, almost always on friday and the weekend, maybe 50% of the time on other days.

Been testing this setup. With me + 9 impossible AI on shahrivar.map By turn 50 I had a large gem income which included 100 unused fire gems (Could easily turn it into 1,500 gold). I find that I never depend on high research, powerful spells, or global enchanments. I do not need a Super-Combatant. It's easy to have mutliple groups taking provinces and resupply those armies with units as needed. It's easy for me to get surplus gold. I am very Super-Combatant-Protected and Assassin-protected. It won't affect me if my pretender dies (permanently), but for the record he is immortal.

It looks like Ermor has defeated me because of shear numbers and the fact that Abysia was already storming through my provinces. After taking Abysia's home province I quit the game. Ermor has an ability to take a number of provinces quickly. I have yet to see a weakness other than what no nation is safe from.

From your first post: "Not only will I have an army of undead more capable than Ermor"

More recently: "It looks like Ermor has defeated me because of shear(sic) numbers"

... did something go wrong? Sounds like it would make a fascinating AAR - do you have one?

Ermor propably took AE or SG and slayed 6+ AI nations in the progress.

While I said "more capable" I didn't mean to imply "larger". My armies late game will have tomb priests to resupply its army and animated archers. I include poison slingers if I'm not fighting ermor.

I don't really have an AAR. I can tell you that Ermor just had more fodder I couldn't deal with; taking all my provinces. My armies were undefeatable; but the AI sucks so that's probably a given. I guess I could start a new game with the tweaks I made on the pretender setup.

Maisma(sp) Ctis is the most powerful best race ever.
Same goes witht Tien Chi Spring and Autom but I need to figure out why.
