Rattlehead - MA Newbie game (running)

[Num]

Hello everybody,
At this point I have a few questions some of you may answer about the game, and this game.
First a general question : There is not a lot of fight : That is because we are all discovering the game ?
Details : How Ermor have and maintain a that large army ? Is there no upkeep for undeads/summons ?
I made a lot of research, and it seems I am almost the only one to do that ? Is it that stupid ?
Do you all have a plan to get to the end of the game ? Do you walk around blind ?
Well I guess it is not easy to answer in a few words, but I am not experimented at all... Thanks in advance

Believe me I'm fighting..and I just wanted my island. I WISH I could afford to research, having to buy other stuff and use my mages as warriors.

[SnallTrippin]

Yeah, I'm still having fun but I wish I could have at least gotten 2-3 turns to generate island defenses. Poor lil Man.

Also remeber that, while MA Ermor does not get freespawn like LA, I believe all of their priests can reanimate with no Gem cost. So if you play your cards right, it's easy to get a scary number of undead (Which do not require any upkeep to boot).

As for myself, I have been struggling against Arco and C'tis in the last few turns. I do have a long term strategy, but I just can't seem to get the Gems I need to make it work. In retrospect, if I had built my pretender a little differently, things could be MUCH easier overall. Lessons learned for next time, I guess. (And there will be a next time, as I REALLY like playing Agartha, and my head is teeming with better builds than the one I am using in this game)

But don't count me out just yet, hehe.

Yeah, Agartha is fun. MA Agartha's umbrals, granite guards, and marble oracles are just beasts. I prefer EA Agartha (need no supplies, quick sieges, recruit-anywhere sacreds, trogs, all mages are sacred, national low-level Earth Elemental summons, umbrals, nearly all units amphibious...the perfect turtling nation).

Machaka assumes a protectorate over southern Man. The precise borders of the protectorate are to be worked out at a later date, but our troops are on their way to enforce our new regime.

We apologize to the current government of Man for the tragic necessity of this protectorate.

To the civilian population: Our Dominion brings with it good income scales, so you should all be expecting a raise. In addition, we are a hot land, so our troops will be passing out free bathing suits and beach towels in the pacified areas.

Edit: To be clear, we are invading Man.

[SnallTrippin]

What this really means is make sure you get your alliance info on this page and trust no one.

[Dark Kitty]

The nation of Shinuyama signed NAPs-3 with the nations of Marignon and Ermor.

[Belac]

Machaka has signed NAPs with Arcoscephale and C'tis.

[SnallTrippin]

Lol.
