Re: 1 vs 1 MA mictlan
Read my guide for MA mictlan; its in one of the threads about MA mictlan.
Personally I am not very impressed with MA-Marignon - you should have no problems.
Personally, I would look at a completely double major bless, comprised amongst F9 S9 W9 or A9.
No one likes Air bless but if you know he's going crossbow it will work fine.
Personally I'd go F9 W9. You will probably not get to the end game - so I like the strength of all combat F9W9 fight. Go with a Dominion of 8, or so, preferably with Magic 1, Order 3, sloth 3, heat 3.
You should be able to field one expansion force a turn. Ie., one priest and 8 jagwarriors, two slingers per turn.
You should VASTLY out expand him in the early game. Make sure to bid on the mercenaries - not because you want them, but because you don't want HIM to have them.
Finally,. very few people realize the power of the nahuli. Make magic duel your first target, and cast it in your second form. With map move three, flying, You should be able to have mage supremacy any time you wish it.
Against the royal guards, use tanglevines, bond of fire, etc, although your jags will eat em for lunch.
If you are using a random map you definitely want to turn border mountains off. If you can build a 2nd for on turn 3ish you should, regardless of the tax rate required.
