Do anything you want, then send it to the DA first turn, or go for the
total scummer with 11-21-15-4-19-9-5 should have a record like 22-3 if you
can avoid all the AB's.

Looks like no hope to me, DA.

13-11-5-15-17-10-13 PS, train skills for 3 turns then go for 2 in int and
2 in deft then stats untill AD.  He'll never be a god so don't worry about
loosing those skills.

It's been a long time since i played, but thats what i'd do.  I know most
of these new punk managers ;) will disagree, but this could make a good
first attempt and give you some guys to let you get your feet wet and
learn the game.  Anyone can win with a GOD roll-up, the good maneger can
win with nearly anything.
