Create Army=5000gold From: "Stanley, the Daredevil Crow!" <samcraig@io.com> Date: Tue, 27 Jan 1998 00:00:00 +0000 Why on earth would anyone DO this? Split army doesn't cost you anything! I have a commander in my capitol with 100 troops. Next turn I'm going to want to make a new commander so this turn my current recruits 500 HI; next turn he gives those HI to the new commander. Name new comes bfore split army so he could do it(I finally recieved the rules). 5000 gold saved. Sure this trick only works in pop centers where you allready have an existing commander; but since you only create Cs in your capitol thats the most likely place to create a new army anyway. By that logic the "No hire cost" SNA in ME1000 is not even worth 4k, let alone 7k, and would severly curtail the worth of it in 1650 & 2950. BTW, My ME1000 would be market at =/-20% 7k Ems at 40 6k Scout@ x2 7k OR Scout@+20 & Conjure Mounts 7k total. With town money going to extra camps for the market ability. Or the Elven approach Can learn Teleport 6k Mages at 40 4k Stealth bonus* 7k Scout@+20 OR Cs@40 3k With at least one mage with the three artifact spells and teleport. (& the victory condition 10 more artifacts than you started with) *If playing on a team I might change that to "market@+/-20%" if everyone else was using it too... Corner the market every turn!
