Well, I'm pretty new to Agartha and didn't believe that their non-cap troops were as bad as everybody told me they were.
Also my 30+ Golem Crafters and 5 Oracles had no spells to cast so far, but that has changed.

now i start to wonder my don't start a war policy.. a piece of my north neighbor would be nice.. heh.
EDIT: Omen of war, a swallow chases a hawk, or something. THis is, forbidding..
Oh, and i gots 30 earthgems if the trade is still avalible

This is why I believe cheat allegations should be handled in private. You have to give up a lot of strategical information to clear your name.

Sure, I'll trade. Write me a PM with what you want.

I like to play MA Agartha and have bit of experience with them. Here is my 2 cents:

In my opinion your bless is the correct choice but shard Guards are not your best choice of sacred. I like the Stone Hurlers and Ancient Ones much more as they have higher HP. Your cap units and summons are your main tanks. Use noncap units as expendable chaff when needed. Deal damage with evocations.

I also always deploy my golems in line formation. They tank more damage that way.

[Mindmaker]

Shard guards have lower HP (28 compared to 40), but slightly better overall stats, better damage and a magic weapon with a nice effect.
If I managed to catch your pretender with those he might have been in trouble. I might get the other ones if I had more holy points available.

Thanks for the golem tip though.

I really need a better research strategy and some botgames with them.

[tompliss]

Haven't played Arghata, but always read that their mages are their main damage dealer much more than most of the other nations.

Well, I'm pretty new to Agartha and didn't believe that their non-cap troops were as bad as everybody told me they were.

I... wow. They really are. A Defender of the Halls is functionally similar to a Caelum Storm Guard. Let that sink in for a minute. Agathra's _generic troops are as bad as Caelum's _{generic troops}. Sure, you get twice as much HP, a point of MR/Morale, a stronger attack, a point of extra siege power, darkvision, poor amphibian, and needs-not-eat, but you lose the ability to reliably hit anything _{9 attack and a 1 length weapon, because that's a great idea}, repelling attacks, magical damage, flying, ice protection, and a strategic movement that is not 1. So in other words you're paying 1 gold and 5 resources less for a garrison troop that's hard to amass when you need them.

No wonder Caelum and Agatha both rely on their mages to deal the majority of the damage. Their main troops are generally overpriced and ineffective.

[Ashsaber]

Y'know at this point I think every province I have has been attacked by something neutral at least once now. :|

Luck at anything less than..+3, really. Is apparently not good for me.

[Mindmaker]

Apparently the army managed to hide inside the capital before you managed to siege it, which is good.

Is there a way to force them to stay and fight with a move order?

[tompliss]

The manual stats that the "Break Siege" order takes place at the same time as the "Other movement" (AKA not "friendly movement").
So if the enemy retreat from the siege to another of its provinces, your armies won't attack each other.
didn't understand what you asked correctly. Correct answer provided in next post.

[Toady Two]

First you order them to move to a province. Then you issue the order "move and patrol". They will then join the patrolling force. Units on patrol will fight enemies invading fort provinces in the open field.

[Mindmaker]

Yeah, I knew about patrolling. I just didn't know that a move and patrol order existed.
Thanks.

Your Shard Guards caught my pretender and didn't perform too well. I honestly suggest you try out the other sacreds. They compliment your bless much better.

[tompliss]

"kill me, kill me, kill me ! "

I loved the 3 shields, by the way
you may want a fire brand (or even a flambeau if you don't mind a two hands weapons)

[Mindmaker]

All I needed was a single hit and I didn't even get that. Defense was way too high.
Other national sacreds won't do much better since their attack skill is even lower. Your pretender just needs a healthy dose of magic.

Funnily enough, you can disable him by having a single unit spam skeletons.

[Toady Two]

If I could trade for a charcoal shield, skelespam would be neutralized.

[Mindmaker]

The buildup would be lower, but with horde of skeletons you'd still be locked in place.
