Question: For the priest, when you say "Holy" you mean 1 or more holy magic levels and no other magic, not just any sacred commander with no magic, right?

That is correct. Sorry if there was any confusion there.

edit: it's been pointed out that 500 gold of EACH of your cheapest units to start is a little much. I'm toning it down to 250 gold of each (500 gold total) because that's what I meant to type in the first place.

(I'll post for my units in about 2-3 hours)

[EDIT]
My scout : #428 Assassin
My normal commander : #2253 Berytian Captain

[Boksi]

Picking #1665 - Noble Commander.

[tompliss]

Hum...
High cost, high prot trampler, eh ?

Not high cost. 1 gold. PD, y'know.

[tompliss]

... eh :/
So you'll pick your "real" commander as another commander pick, then... well, tht's an option too.

(and you get one "free", as your first commander)

[Delta Foxtrot]

A few vanilla nations have a good PD commander like that. EA TC gets their trampler, Heims tend to get some sacred monstrosity you can bless with an indy priest, etc..

Not too shabby pick if I say so myself.

[AlStar]

I'll pick up 1523, Slave Prince.

[akirilus]

For commander I will take:

Unit 1207 - Eponi Chieftain

[AlStar]

Good stuff.



So akirilus, you're back up for priest.

Edit: Just in case this hasn't been pointed out earlier, but cap-only picks (like Hellhearts Queen) will not get free fort recruitment.

[E. Albright]

Hmm, akirlus, may a spectator inquire as to why you picked the Eponi Chieftain? I can see a couple of reasons that would make it a runner-up for me, but none that would make me pick it first over its "older siblings" who seem to do almost (or exactly) the same thing, only better.

Probably because this is my second game of Dominions ever, and I am kinda muddling through it.  I piked it for movement 3, primarily, and a decent combination of stats and cost.  Probably not the most optimal pick, but then again I am expecting most of my picks to be suboptimal here.  I was also thinking of picking the Chariot Commander, but decided against it.

[akirilus]

For my priest unit I am going to pick:

Unit 2542 - Guhyaka General

[E. Albright]

Gotcha. I mean, Eponi Chieftain wasn't a bad pick, it just seemed slightly less desirable than several very similar units. For leadership, I'd've favored Bandarajas (id 1760; 120 leadership, so same morale bonus, plus forest survival, at a slight gold cost and map move 2) or Legatus Legionis (id 1386; 120 ldr at the cost of gold and MM2). For mobility, I'd've favored Ichthycentaur Commander (id 2374; amphibious, better stats, and cheaper in exchange for no inspiration), Sastar (id 1288; much cheaper storm-immune flier with no inspiration), or Warrior Chief (id 1158; stealth, mount/forest survival, and much cheaper in exchange for MM2). Or for the whole package, Sauromatian Manflayer (id 1173; pretty much identical except barely cheaper with better gear and +5 pillage (so they can lead raids), in exchange for 19 resources).

Anyway, enough Monday-morning quarterbacking from me.
