I really enjoyed this post-game review. Especially on a nation with as many options as this one, hearing about what parts actually worked is a big help.

I really felt a lot more confident talking about it too! I hope that helped! Thank you!

The healing is so strong even if it's just for troops. I was able to contest a Thone with a disease site from La Pan (who has recuperation) using LA Arco, and the healers helped overcome injuries for those who survived late game nukes like Flames from the Sky. Every troop healed back to full is basically like getting new troops without having to pay gold for them.

Healing is real good. Loving it now in my hinnom game where I keep "accidentally" eating all the supplies.

@@ZanGames I like having a mix of both too. Sometimes it's nice having that disease healer zeroing in on the ones about to die.

Chariots can be suprisingly decent at staying alive due to that 15 defense skill with 2 (low skill) repels so they are actually ok at expanding

@zan as far as i can tell every non-giant/flier nation is only map move one. Illwinter maps have a mountain/highland/swamp/etc in every other province so finding 2 map move options is a precious rarity. Best to assume everyone is MM1 and be gleeful when a province isn't~

I havent done a basic map in a minute, so maybe i'm forgetting. But mm is something i definitely consider when looking at national troops/mages! Like LA Pyth heavy infantry is mm16/14...

@@ZanGames It can be really fun - instead of one mystic summoning spartoi, i have three plus 2 fire elemental and 1 water elemental summoner - that usually does the trick

Just the movement alone categorizes this nation as "near mandatory larger bless" along with ea ur.

Sorry I'm spamming comments but o well lol. I noticed the strategos has -4 movement from armor. I wonder if slapping the cheap astral armor on him would fix it.

Zan you're dropping some spicy heresy in this video! "Healing is good" ok mildly spicy "Holy 2 is more than twice as good as hooly 1" mmm some medium heat "Ma arco isn't a communion nation" *OoooOooOOHHHHH* 🔥🔥🔥🔥

A lot of anything I say tends to be heretical. I don't care for efficiency, just results when I play. If being inefficient guarantees results, I'll do it. I'll worry about efficiency after I've got your cap. For 90% of the game i'd rather have 3 elemental casters instead of 2 slaves and 1 "slightly" bigger caster. So yeah...just depending on communions is silly to me.
