I guess what struck me with oceania was that there wasn't a clear path for me (a newb) to take with the hero. No summons or domsummons, not an obvious SC like Shinuyama or Man, so I just used him for a head start with research.

using him to site search is not a bad option. oceania has tough castle bought troops for early expansion. A small bless and your capital sacred units are pretty tough as well.

The dominion kill happened to Ctis in epic heroes I. Ctis was also played by a new player. It is hard for new players to compete in mp games that have many experienced players in it regardless of race/hero.

But thank you for trying. Hopefully you learned a little bit. And I am sorry the game was not longer for you. And above all-I hope it was fun despite the early exit.

The early expansion in this game has been very aggression. I guess everyone is taking a gamble with their epics, instead of playing it safe. And Dr P taking his hero out blind the very first turn, was a big gamble.

Yeah, in the test game I ran I couldn't find an indie to scratch my guy, then 4 turns into the real game he takes a lance to the forehead. :/

Is the Ancient Master dead, or was that an awake Wyrm? Killing off the Ancient Master is not an easy thing to do.

Well, Dr. P killed him off last game with frozen heart, but surely the good Dr. does not have that researched quite yet.

The Ancient Master fell in single (almost) combat with the Blood Cursed champion!

Long live Mictlan!

Wow! Turn 7 and 3 of the 18 Epic Heroes are dead-that we know of.

The Blood-Cursed Champion and the Angel of Death are both just sickly powerful. Though I think the Ancient Master is certainly capable of killing the Blood-Cursed Champion. The Quivering Palm can bring down anything if it lands-unless he had lightning protection. It is a shock attack.

Dr. P can correct me, but I think he lost the Blood-Cursed Champion in a single combat to an Atlantis Worthy Hero last game. One more reason to never take misf, as that reduces your chance of getting another thug. Some of the Worthy Heroes are quite "Epic."

All of the Epic Heroes are designed to be valuable, though not all of them are designed to take provinces early.
