Help on SC's

[Omnirizon]

there is a thread around here somewhere, check the strategy index.

for me, I focus on getting the best SC with the cheapest/least equipment. I like cheap SC chassis which already have some decent equipment/abilities, and give them the minimal extra stuff. I prefer an SC that I can get for, say, 10 gems, and equip it with another 15 or so gems.

Most people would call that a 'thug' and not an SC, but the difference is not worth making to me. Dominions 3, after all, is a war of attrition, and typically an 80 gem SC kitted out with 50 more gems worth of stuff will lose against just a couple of thugs kitted especially to counter him. If you are equipping thugs in cheap but specialized manner, then you will have enough gems to keep your laboratory stocked with whatever you might need, and enough thugs to equip one most anytime you need it.
