but that also costs you 240 points instead of 0.

Turmoil pays for luck. Otherwise you have to pay for both from somewhere else.

I choose turmoil/luck scales because of the Pan's Maenad spawning. With order-3 games I get very few Maenads in my dominion. Anyway, this game I can't even afford the Pans to get the Maenads. My early strategy is to race to Alt-7 and employ hordes of well buffed chaff. I took an awake rainbow sage to do primarily [in order] research, site searching, and forging.

Also sort of key to my early strategy is to get a Pan early on that has Death magic (+25% chance) to summon Carrion Centaurs to reanimate more chaff. My first one did not.

In test games with Magic Sites 60 I often found neato indy mages adjacent to my capital and am relying on them somewhat for diversity. Are there any Amazons in MA? I don't think I've seen any yet.

Last turn Luck netted me 250g and increased pd +15 in my capital. I also had an unrest event.

FYI, 2 dryads casting barkskin does not equal

As for my elite warriors dying... which is more expensive, 30 EW or 10-12 Minotaurs. I bet you weren't expecting the archers though

And wait till my Marshmasters arrive to play with your guys. You've got so few mages its laughable.

heh guess I forgot to submit my last turn after doing it. Durrr.

This is the second game in a row where my expansion pretender runs into a giant pile of double bless troops. Straight to the hall of fame!

The good news is I've discovered a dozen air gems and I'm looking to trade them. I need fire, earth, nature, or death gems. Contact me by PM to make a deal.

Fast expansion is well and good...if you can keep it up and hold on to what you get! Im not worried yet, slow and steady wins the race

Pffft... once C'tis has another castle or two that research lead will disappear into the mists of time. And then wait till I hit const 4, 7 gem Skull Mentors FTW!!

Yeah, luck is inherently a crapshoot. In a test game I was doing trying out Baalz' EA Caelum strategy I had a vamp count appear in my capital within the first 6 turns. This was with Luck 3!

Where is Ashdod anyway? I can't find a single friggin' scout province! Not that C'tis dominion is helpful at keeping said scouts alive. <_<

Ashdod sits North of the East wastelands at around 84
