Here is what the bulk of my armies look like in that game as of right now.   I can't make these from forts, just from a single forest which has been cranking them out since like turn 4.

Mictlan is extremely powerful and the main reason that I see it not due well is people dogpiling them because of it. Micltan is a lot easier to kill when they only have one fort cranking out sacreds and don't yet have a blood econ.

Neruz posted:Eagle warriors are noticably less effective if they don't have a frontline of jags to engage the enemy frontline before they fly over and start murdering all the commanders. EA Mictlan just has some really good synergy with its sacreds. With the right bless, once you reach critical mass you don't need anything else. F9W9 eagles are multi-attacking death machines. You either have to storm/wipe the field with battlefield evos on round 1 defensively or get absolutely wrecked when the eagles come in and just kill everything.

The manti actually did have a purpose beyond dying a lot which is their primary role. Flavahbeast took a vampire queen which has awe, fear, regen and invulnerability which makes it extremely good at killing my mostly garbage troops. Manti are mindless (ignore awe and fear) and have magic weapons (ignore invuln). They are actually a really affordable way to kill vampires in melee.

ChickenWing posted:It takes time, but it's pretty much guaranteed - I don't think sniffle giants have any way to heal diseases outside of construction items that they may not have access to. Disease is a nasty thing if you have no way of dealing with it. He regenerates from the ring so as long as he stays in fights every turn or 2 he will be fine. It takes a long time to fall apart from disease affliction wise. I had a dragon in a disciple game that got diseased on like turn 8 and was alive years later because of regeneration, albeit minus an eye and some other random things.

goatface posted:I thought only kitfox did the mad PD thing. Unsupported mad pd is a kitfox thing. Pumping pd way up in an important battle to provide chaff, to destroy problematic raiders, etc are legit. In this case, modpud is stacking it for a specific defensive purpose. Though monkey pd is pretty bad, it's good enough to take a couple hits and get in the way so that her actual army of sacreds and archers can maybe win it against a more tired and hopefully attritioned enemy. 46 pd is a bit overboard though imo. Personally I would have probably stopped in the 20-25 range.

AIs are a drag on the game. You are better off trying to convince people to maybe not AI at the drop of a hat or find a sub. Really it's bad form imo to AI if you aren't nearly entirely dead with the bulk of your troops/mage corps destroyed with very little/no territory remaining to your name.

jBrereton posted:Spring for 5, you're only spending 12 more gold on the province, which you're pretty likely to recoup the one time birds attack and definitely fail. It also looks scarier on scout reports. I thought 5 was the threshold where it still looks like "one dude and his henchmen" and 6 was the next tier up?

Tulip posted:Well, Mictlan is basically dead, so Turkeys is somewhat unlikely. Also circumstances are really different. SHRILL HARPY TOXIC FEMINIST VAMPIR isn't being used for solo raiding, let alone being used as the backbone of the entire army's strategy. I'd guess that empowering into astral is part of getting relegated to research & rituals duty, since she'll be able to mindhunt protect the research corps. I would totally use a teleporting magic duelist to knock out an S1 pretender and returning home in such a situation, though I've never seen anyone else do similar things. Hinnom has healers as well and a single S1 is only a 40% chance to feeblemind so you can just spam right through a single S1 trying to block it.

Veloxyll posted:Dispelling AC is your best bet. And/or replacing it with other globals. Though I think AC uses blood slaves, which tend to be more easily obtained than gems. AC is a giant gently caress you to everyone else. Though it also paints a giant target on you, so you've got to be ready to fight the whole world when you throw it out. AC is probably the most powerful of the Globals though. Dispelling is not a bet at all as they will just put it back immediately unless you manage to also kill their blood econ, which is very hard post blood8 as blood mages are superb at killing lone thugs and anything more than that is going to get horrored. If they have an uninterrupted blood econ and can afford AC/horror spam you have in most cases already lost. The real solution is to never never never let a nation with SB get a strong foothold, particularly one with extremely strong RP generation like Ulm. If you see magic 3 the situation is even more urgent and you have no choice but to kill or cripple this player in the early to midgame. In this game's case, Lanka is already in a commanding position and has the luxury to leverage a super blood economy into a horror engine with simple pearl alchemization. This is of course a thing that any blood nation can do however it is cost prohibitive to do effectively unless they have a truly massive economy and gem income.

Patrick Spens posted:Am I misreading this, or can you convert blood slaves to pearls through Alchemy, because that makes no sense. You alchemize all of your other gems into pearls and use those to empower blood mages in astral so that they can cast send horror.
