Malleus Maleficarum

[SlipperyJim]

If you're open to suggestions, there's a nice synergy with spies and Fire magic. Of course, I'm talking about Raging Hearts.

Basic strategy:

1. Scout out your potential enemy with your spies (or spam Astral Window if you're lazy)
2. Find the capital and any other major resource sites
3. Use spies & Raging Hearts to increase unrest as high as it will go
4. Once their unrest is over 100, they can't recruit any more troops or commanders

The best part about this strategy is that it's completely anonymous unless your spies get caught. Therefore, you can do all of it before declaring war! This strategy isn't my own original idea; I'm sure I've seen it before. But it would make a nice addition to your guide.

Hmmmmm ... that makes me wonder if I should try writing my own guide for MA Marignon, themed on the Spanish Inquisition sketch.

"Our main weapon is fire magic and our powerful priests. Our two main weapons are fire magic, powerful priests, and spies. Wait, our three main weapons are fire magic, powerful priests, spies ... and swarms of crossbowmen. Okay, among our main weapons are these: fire magic, powerful priests, spies, swarms of crossbowmen, sacred heavy cavalry, and spammy flagellants. And angelic summons. Can I start over?"

Nah, not worth the trouble.

But I liked your post. That would have been fun. Maybe an AAR instead?

Besides, since Inquisitor and holy knights are a basic part of Marignons theme I would like to see it worked heavily into any guide even if its in a comical way. I distrust guides if they dont seem to take into account the thematic portions of a nation. Always feels as if they must be missing something (or seeing something that needs fixed without mentioning the need)
