Re: Brainstorming Nation Strategies
PANGAEA:
Nice thing about Maenads is that it frees you to build stealth armies. Stealth leaders, stealth infantry, stealth archers, stealth priests, stealth mages. Not to mention flying stealth scouts. The ability to place a large army soon in the game at the perimeter of a warzone watching for a weakness. Perferably on the far side away from your real position. Take a province, sink lots of PD into it, start building it up (be sure to re-hide the main force). If he does invest in retaking it then he isnt investing near you. If he doesnt retake it then you can get builders there to create a powerful secondary position. Keep your stealth armies moving, taking, hiding. Never use them in holding. If it looks like it will get retaiken right away then tax it to death while you can. Force him to invest more in PD than he normally would.
Carrion Dragon surrounded by maenads can be powerful. Take at least 2 death and 3 nature to make use the the national spells. Add blood to be able to create Black Hearts for those kickass Pan assassin/converters. Taking 4 death isnt a bad idea since causing 100% afflictions works well with hit-n-run tactics. Not to mention giving your Carrion Dragon Fear+12
Lord of the Wild with same magics. Personally I like 4d/4n/4b. Remember you can get away with going turmoil and sloth. Quickly get to Awaken Sleeper in order to move your huge armies.

thought Pangaea would be fun to try
He amassed quite a force
and marched them all forth
but half of them stealthed and watched the rest die
