year 1 expansion went terrible
- I failed to notice the scout doesn't have sailing and made one a prophet. so the first expansion party was super slow
- I failed to notice the colossi can't sail either (it's up to size 2 on recruitable commanders for some reason) so the second party couldn't make it to the borders as fast as I'd like
- I lost that first party with prophet to the pangea bump
I also lost my slow-to-recruit water mage to arena event, he hot to finals, then fatigued faster than the other guy and missed all lightning bolts. this really sucks because I *need* water gems and fast, to fend off the underwater nations with water elementals.
The way to cope is to grab all my colossi (got all 9x5 of them intact) and commit to land expansion in pangea before they get really scary, pushing as far as the deserts I need for my summons. Once I secure some real land I can just cozy up with my scales (berytos can do blood sacrifices!) for a while.
I dunno if the colossi can match the minotaurs and centaurs but I should have the numbers and mages.
