Tips for LA C'tis

VFB that is a very good suggestion!

The bless though, is it worth the opportunity cost? wouldnt it be better to do a couple minor blesses rather than the water 9? Just playing around real quick with it, you can get 3 in one other path and 4 in a fourth path if you drop the water to 4. That provides benefits in a) site searching, b) magic diversity and allowing you to have perhaps an E4 bless or F4 bless as well.

The only unit I know of which is Lifeless and still regenerates is Claymen.

I think Iron Dragons might too

Expand on turn 2 if you can. The number of rangers depends on the indies you're surrounded with. You might need an additional smiter and wait until turn 3 to start expanding.

By the way, why profetize a servant and lose the potential H4 with the King?

Because you can start reanimating earlier and cheaper.

Cheaper? Certainly. Earlier? Not convinced.

Given you want to aggressively manually search for death gems, I doubt you'll have Conj 1 for the Black Servant much faster than you'll have the d gems necessary to summon a king. And an H4 will reanimate twice as many tomb wyrms as an H3, so I'd go for the earlier king and ignore conjuration for a little while. Construction, enchantment, and evocation are all better research targets, probably.

Sorry for the stupid questions... why cheaper? what is the usual way to reanimate without profetising the servant?

[Squirrelloid]

Prophetizing the servant is cheaper because he's only 5d.

However, by the time you research conj 1, you probably have enough d to summon a Tomb King, because 2 of your first 3-4 sauromancers went out site searching, so your early research isn't terribly fast. And while its more d gems, you were going to summon tomb kings anyway.

Thanks for the answers!
