Anyone up for an EitB SG?

[haphazard1]

Lots of interesting developments. Sounds preetty good, superjm. Stealing the Hoard, eh?

OK, I have the save. Should be able to play sometime later today. Hopefully I can keep the momentum going.

[Brian Shanahan]

Two good sets to get us somwhere in the right vicinity of the tracks. Lets hope we can get a good result on the next change.

[superjm]

I should also mention before I forget that you should preferably assault Strattus BEFORE you take Sabathiel's border cities, or else the culture from Strattus will pop out and add an extra turn needed to move the zombies in place.

I note we have a great sage in our capital. Any thoughts as to the best use of him?

Best uses of our raw nodes? Assuming we can find time/witches to do something with them....

Falamar has a lot of units running around, all with mithril. Hmmm, and Hemah. Will have to keep an eye on him.

How many GP do we need for a golden age? And are we generating any GPP?

More death is probably strongest. Three death nodes would mean all of our future witches will be instantly able to summon strength 6 spectres (that will hang around for two turns, and have three moves).

Holding him for a potential golden age is the best bet. I started working a bard in Golden Leane last turnset to get some GPP going, gonna take a while still though. You could also work sages there to get the GP much faster but of course since we don't want another Great Sage that approach is risky.

As for Falamar, that's why I zeroed in on Entropy mana first, so we could more easily deal with that dang Mithril and other metal units for that matter. I agree that Death seems like the best choice from here.

[haphazard1]

Some more Death mana to boost summoned undead seems like a strong option; I will see if I can get a witch or two positioned to handle that. I saw we had one witch with Spring; would love to get her working on our desert tiles. But the fighting is a bit more important right now.

I saw the bard specialist, and it will take a while. The extra culture is useful there, so will keep running him.

Hopefully I can massacre a big chunk of Sabathiel's troops while they are weakened, without losing too many of our own wounded. A lot depends on just what Falamar does.

[superjm]

We're also about to grab Sabathiel's marble with the south city's third ring, so a quick Heroic Epic (and National Epic?) is a thing we can do now too.

[Mr. Cairo]

Will we swap into Basium if they have the lowest score when we hit the top? I know in previous high-to-low SGs you've swapped into Hyborem, but will it work with a vassalized basium?

[superjm]

I've never actually tried playing as Mercurians. I know Infernals Player vs AI is completely busted in the player's favor but would a late Mercurian summon be the same?
