LA Utgard guide

Twan, I feel I should tip you (and eagerly await the rest of your guide). It is well-timed as I have been dealt Utgard in the coming mega game, and am battling a dual blessed (W/N) version of them in Alexandria MP game, but have never played them myself.

In Alexandria, they have done quite well with the dual blessed woodsmen as the W bless seems to mitigate their weakness vs. arrows as they get to the line so damn quick....and the arrows just piss them off (eg turn them into berserk mode)

DC,
Good luck in the mega game as Utgard. I have done a few things right as Utgard and many things wrong. One that I regret is I opted for thug expansion at the expense of research a bit too much. I'll be happy to share all after the game.

Thanks, SSJ. I was impressed enough with your performance to throw them on my list for the mega game, though they weren't my #1 choice

. I look forward to your insights after Alexandria.

As for research, I am having the same problem in Figment playing Vanheim. Once you get too far behind, it is tough to recover. Keeping up in research as much as a nation will allow is now my priority in any game.

Good guide, I haven't played Utgard yet but I'm looking forward to it now.

I haven't played them either, but I'm absolutely in love with their seithkona's. They're absolutely amazing mages for only 90g. Those alone would make the nation worth playing.

Quite true. A very good learner nation if you want to play with strong blood and astral and the associated nuances of effective blood hunting, mind hunts and communions (learned a lot but I'm still a rookie).
