second class super combattants

[Pocus]

just tried a Natajara with air and water magic. At turn 5 she got 4 enchanted swords.
Starting spells : quickness, then air shield & mist form on second round.
Gave her a juicy 28 def, with air shield to protect her from missiles, and mist form if a very very lucky blow bypass the defence.

Nothing else, but a ring of regen, a medallion of luck (or a ring of reinvigoration), and a nice little armor would have been cool.

I had big fun with her. A dozen indeps provinces, then a Tien Chi army of 70 units were trashed without problems.
and this is far from being optimized.

my scales were restless worhshipers, to help spread the dominions (and my Nata hit points...), chaos 1, luck 3, growth 2, dominions 7, fortress (so no loosy empire you see).

SC pretenders are powerful, and even more in doms II (less gold to coutner them with mages eg). Shall we make house rules in multiplay so that some players dont ruins the fun of others? I dont think so, as it would be a pity to have a game just released which cant be balanced from the start. This is why I advocate too that something must be done by the devs.
