Thanks for the video. Had to vanish early so good to see a vod after.

I've been having some decent luck expanding with a mix of veiled ones and feminie soldiers. The feminie soldiers are kind of trash but they have good repel, decent prot and not terrible defense, so they survive taking hits from most things while the veiled ones hit hard enough to kill the enemies and glamour keeps them alive just long enough for most battles. Even though the veiled ones have basically no bless, the combo of glamour and a spetum makes them kill things decently fast and for a good clip cheaper than the knights.

Just a long line of them or any formation? Do you do the recruitment trick to force the units to share a square?

@@ZanGames Usually a long line then a small formation of archers behind them. The archers being right behind them suck up most crossbow fire. The line on attack closest breaks apart in an ugly way because the veiled ones have higher combat speed by 1 so there's no point to being too picky about where individuals stand, you just want there to be a mixed together block. But that break apart is what helps it work. The veiled ones and their glamour survive cav charges and as a result you have them lance catch without dying, then the gaps fill in and the cav doesn't get to easily finish off the veiled ones left. Without a bless at all, this is a slightly high attrition strat but with even just blur on them and you'll survive with most of them still alive. An elf bless is something you could also do but I'm not sure I think it's worth it. I like this strat over cavalry since you can easily fill with militia or heavy infantry or whatever indie infantry you find along the way and they'll do just about as well as the feminie soldiers. I just did a full scales no bless test with an awake neter of crafts for production 3 and got a year 1 16 province expand without sending the titan anywhere and have 4 expansion parties near full health at spring year 1. I think it's easier with a bless and less scales personally, but if you wanted to do a scales expansion with Feminie, trying to find a place for veiled ones anyway seems key in my book. I would quickly try to transition into lady knights as soon as I had a second fort however, and would at least want some trained for a war.

Just did another with pure scales, no bless, dormant neter, got to 16 again. Ended the year with evo 3 and thaum 4, whereas the awake had me up to evo 3 and thaum 5. I still don't think they should be a pure scales nation personally, but I think that's the best way to go about it.

you do have a few provinces with more than 4 indies . Also pinging with the scout on retreat is pretty nice because it give you an exact number

@ZanGames 10 ай бұрын

Yep! With more scouts the assassin expansion can definitely be expanded. Its just high risk / high reward, and speed is important!

@fabienherry6690 10 ай бұрын

@@ZanGames You trade research, and gold because assassin recruit faster than mage, for better expansion for nation that struggle to transform money into power when you don't have the fort build up it's really good. If you play scale and you combine : your army expending , the assasin grabbing you province and the mercenary your expension is REALLY good

"cap circle definition generation" should have been a thing a long time ago. How much time has been wasted on 3-4 prov shitty starts? How many newbies unwittingly getting severe handicaps?

@ZanGames 10 ай бұрын

I agree. I'm considering actually posting on the forums, or chatting with some of the beta testers to see if they can bring up that suggestion. It would make map generation infinitely smoother.
