Default Re: Kailasa guide

pyg, the way modding is done, modding commands overwrite unit attributes. If a unit already has an attribute, a mod will update that attribute. If you have a unit with 10% regen and set it to 20% regen in a mod, then it will have 20% regen, and not two attributes with 10% and 20% regen which would result in 30% regen. You are overwriting the "pretender for nation" attribute three times, so only the last one will stick. If you want the units as pretenders for multiple nations, then you need to make copies of them.

I'm with Tifone. If you are facing archers why send your sacreds to be slaughtered? Invent a different solution.

It is possible that archers on fire largest will fire yavanas instead of decoy bandars. I haven't tried it. But surely you can find someone or something with more hit points than yavanas to serve as decoys if you really want to use your sacreds against an archer heavy army. Use more yavanas as decoys if nothing else.

I am pretty sure that an army of yavanas with a S9A6 bless will defeat an army of archers of an equal gold cost even with no decoys used. Just split yavanas into several smaller groups.

I don't think that an all-Kailasa competition can show which bless is the best all around. But it would be an interesting game, so I'd like in as well. Probably the fire bless will win.

Use more yavanas as decoys..? Perhaps the purpose of decoying to protection your valuable troops is lost on that one ... Also your opponent can just break up his archers into different groups to dodge your decoys anyway. And choosing to simply "avoid" archers, if your neighbor sees you playing Kailasa, what's stopping him from rounding up a group of indie archers and breaking down your door?

If any nation can benefit from an A9 bless it is Kailasa, and you also have several pretender choices. Also keep in mind that this would make your blessed troops pretty potent against EA lighting/archers strategies from

- Vanheim
- Fomoria
- Caelum
- Sauromatia
- Tir
- TC
- Arcos

Which means you limit strategy choices for third of your possible opponents pretty heavily.
Throw in two minor blesses from W and one from ESB - keep your everywhere recruitable sacred spearmen in mind.
I won't count on Arrow Fend either given your lack of air mages.
