Default Re: Getting the max out of MA Agartha

Have you tried a Dom7 Dragon? It's really likely to get gimped early on, before you get Quicken Self and Breath of Winter. I'd go Dom9, but preferably Dom10. Heat-2 really doesn't synergize well with a blue dragon either. And how many 19-resource Ancient Ones can you make with 2 sloth?

Set to fire closest even with dom 7 I find the blue dragon generally manages against anything but heavy cav...because of his water magic he ends up with 18 defense which in combination with 18 prot and fear usually helps him avoid much damage against anything but elite independents. I've tested it, it's reliable expansion even with the heat scales which admittedly don't work incredibly well with the blue dragon...but you can't really take cold with agartha. If you get really unlucky with your start location and only end up with 2-3 crappy neighbors you do have a point in that you would end up not being able to make 7 ancient ones/turn. But it's not too big of a deal since the dragon is your crutch for early expansion; the ancient ones being decent is just an added benefit. I like the bless more long term for your marble oracles.

Still, you're right...it's kind of a forced match. MA Agartha just has a lot of trouble with early expansion.

Edit - gah just go with an awake risen oracle...seems a waste not to have a powerful death mage with agartha.
