Trying to improve my MA Abyssia Pretender Design

[Squirrelloid]

.2h file and .trn file attached (.2h so you can see what I would probably be doing for that turn). I also included the fatherland file, in case you need that. (Never tried to pass a SP turn before). Map is Streamlands, requires CBM 1.71.

As i said, i think this game was a little slow at getting bloodhunting started. I just sort of rush-played through these, so i'm sure the play could be optimized quite a bit more.

ty for the file.
I got the map and cbm 1.71 but still cant load up the file:

"CBM kharamdzu.dm is required"

Whoops, i seem to have used the mods for the Haitian Heaven 2 game, which i didn't notice because Kharam Dzu (mod nation) doesn't have a banner.

The Kharam Dzu mod can be found here: http://www.llamaserver.net/sombre/Dominions3/Mods/

Mod should have absolutely no effect on the particular game.

Abysian Infantry takes care of most bless rushes easily enough. they're tough enough to last a few rounds, and with their heat aura and hot provinces(you're fighting a defensive battle against rushers, so you should be fighting in your own dominion) the small elite blessed forces should fatigue themselves out faster than your high encumbrance infantry.

Worried? About MA Pan? lol?

Heavy stuff? not so much. It might go toe to toe with your humanbred...

Buy PD with your bloodhunters, you'd be surprised how effective 2-3 hunters, 10 PD, and a little bit of blood research is at foiling raiding. Just Blood 1 gives you imps, which dramatically increase the difficulty in raiding the province. (And Pans make poor thugs)

MA Pan's early game is not that strong. And they're going to be charging down alteration so they can turn most of their Pan into animals and save on upkeep.

The diplomacy in the early game is not about drawing in an ally, but about making deals with neighbors so they don't attack *you*. If you're talking to them, you've just decreased the odds they're going to rush you by quite a bit (cause the guy who isn't talking to them is going to be worrisome for them - if they attack you and that person attacks them, they're suddenly in a two-front war.) Just the act of communicating lets your opponent know that he can secure agreements with you because you can be contacted.
