I took large because Ogres get a blood 3 or 4 spell that works like Regeneration (They also have another that works like Marble Warrior with much smaller range)with different fatigue and area so I wanted my sacreds to have as much HP as possible for it, I had nothing that I really wanted with the W points so I took Cold res given my cold dominion but it was pretty worthless to be honest. An AAR because why not. I had an awful starting position, I had a bunch o no res provinces and started next to a tier 3 spring hawk throne, that limited the amount of sacreds that I could recruit by a lot, even with that I still expanded really well because Ogre Pitfighters will eat even heavy cav with little to no loses to show for it, I ended expansion in second (Tilea was still significantly bigger). + + My first war was against Kislev that was rushing Khorne, I decided to fuck him up because I could and so me and Brettonia(that I didn't know but were also attacking him) killed the shit out of the gay bear, at one point Brets were sieging Kislev's cap, I could have taken Khorne's cap easily, but I decided to say fuck it and went and ate the brets alives and took the cap for myself. After that it would be pretty easy for me to eat the brets, but I decided to tell him to fuck off because the orcs AI were attacking me and but it was mostly because I was worried about overextending and getting attacked by Altdorf. + +Cont +--- 425794169 +>>425793058 +After that I eat a shit ton of AI, Altdorf killed Khorne, something that pissed me quite a bit but also netted me a death basket that let me cast 2 globals in a row. When I saw the research graph I had to take a double take, I had 2x everyone else even when I didn't have the most income or forts or lightless lanterns, which was quite surreal for me, ogre best recruitable researcher costs 100g and has 7RP, I have no fucking idea what everyone was doing with their gold. + +Anyway, rat ended up fighting Tilea, Bret and Altdorf and was getting reamed, I was sure that I would next after the him so I helped him quite a bit with gear and some gold, I managed to convince Slaanesh that Altdorf (which at that point had the most income) had to go, so he started attacking, I used that time to finish eating the AI, Slaanesh was gaining provinces but was clearly going to lose war so I attacked Altdorf, which went AI without even giving me a fight, screw you. The rat, based be his name, managed to beat the shit out of brets, after I sent him a bunch of gear his pretender was wiping out fairly huge stacks by itself. After that I got bored of the game and decided to throne rush, I had a shitload of pretty strong thugs at this, >2x anyone else research so it was a cakewalk, the only issue was me being super tired thanks to playing too many games and doing a bunch of fuck ups, like losing my pretender because I got a Fire Ring in an event, didn't see that event and put that on my pretender thinking it was one of the Ring of Water Breathing I had around when I teleported him to take an underwater throne bruh, I just recalled him the very next turn but still. +--- 425795259 +>>425794169 +Just a bit more because I want to talk about the nation itself. Pitfighters are alright sacreds, probably a bit too expensive for what they are but they are definitely one of the better sacreds, the mages are all horribly over-expensive for what they are but they are quite beefy. Ogres have a bunch of really good buffing spells that are on Blood, you can throw a smaller range SoG at blood 2, a bigger range Elemental Fortitude at blood 3, blood 4 nets you a better Regeneration and a significantly less range Marble Warriors that don't cost gems, you will need a bunch of mages to cover your army because of the small range but boy after blood 4 your troops can get quite ridiculous. + +Out of the summons, as it's customary for Sombre all the troop's summons are varifying levels of "Why the fuck would I ever spend the gem/blood slaves when they are worse than the generic stuff?" level of shit, there are only 3 worthwhile summon for Ogre and these are the commanders, Henchfiend are amazing for a 0 research 22 blood slaves mage, I honestly slept on them for quite a bit because of their shit hp and me only getting F1D1 in the beginning, but damn those guys can raid, plus you can use them to research, Mawfiends are amazing thugs and I was beating the shit out of everyone else in the game with those dudes, I didn't lose even one. After those two you have Yhetee Shaman, it's an alright mage but costs 20N and has high upkeep, it does break into highish E and W so it's worth to summon a few if you don't have a mountain fort or don't want to spend the gold. +--- 425796891 +>no BIG turns unsubmitted +>four set to unfinished +I'm gonna have a BIG aneurysm +--- 425797161 +>>425796891 +I'll do mine in an hour +--- 425798498 +>>425796891 +i'm waiting until the last minute to do mine. +--- 425798823 +>>425778720 +>Man is completely dead +--- 425799694 +5 hours until natgen starts, last chance to get in +https://blitzserver.net/game/1363#status +--- 425799762 +So are we actually going to play on this shitty meme map, it's getting close to start time. +--- 425800238 +>>425799762 +it was changed before you posted +--- 425800549 +>>425800238 +>mappuke +in that case I'll be suiciding into the first person I see, may pankoman have mercy on your sovl +--- 425800736 +>>425800549 +wah wah, you'd do that anyway +--- 425800810 +>>425800736 +h-h-h-how did you know? well in this case it's only because I took a nasty bless.

I was more asking what kind of buffs to their mage paths would you think point work. One that comes to mind personally is making the N1 guy N1W1 for easy mossbody access +--- 425930448 +>>425929615 +Vanilla Pythium has a secretly powerful early game with a hell rainbow with +5 def and bsurge to abuse the Hydra's unsurroundable, which has full synergy with Serpent Cataphracts. Then you point buff them with Renata, who can all cast moss, quickness or BE/luck. The quickness is especially insane as it puts them up to 20 def + unsurroundable and 10 attacks, and they only have 3 enc so the extra fatigue isn't relevant. Since spamming Renata is optimal here and 1/3 of those are S1, you also end up with a lot of good communion mages for later in the game. +--- 425930676 +>>425930448 +I said vanilla Pythium but Sloop's directly buffs this with cheaper Hydras and doubling the rec limit from 1 to 2.
