JMB,

Your "Ladies" gave me fits . It would have been risky but I wonder if you would have risked single raiders and hit more territories in the initial surprise attack (the overall strategy was excellent in any event).

I found I had little chance raiding you as your flying PD smeared my stealthy test raiders before they could light up any buffs..

Did you have fog warriors researched? That is an excellent spell for the air queen and would have made the magma kids very very tough.



Great game all. I learned a lot from all of you. Let me know if anyone wants a turn file.

Well, I tried that against the AI and I found that losses were very high when using them singly. The best compromise appears to be to use them in pairs, which can take out most reasonable PD plus the odd roving commander and bodyguard.

Thanks Too little, too late unfortunately.

Actually, I had just about maxed out the research in everything but blood. OTOH, it was the first game where I really reached late game (not counting SP which is too easy by that point) so I'm not really familiar with the truly powerful spells and tactics.
