Esusian Epicure
Arrgh, I'm completely torn on this. What's your favourite combination and why?
On one hand, I love the Fellowship of Leaves. The Fauns are strong for their cost and readily available, ancient forests gives me plenty of food, and Guardian of Nature is such a great civic I almost feel like I'm cheating.
Someone mentioned putting off world improvements before you can spread forests everywhere, but I've had no problem to spread forests on preexisting improvements - I also often tend to put workers on automatic, and it works out pretty well.
On the other hand, the Council of Esus seems incredible when it comes to synergizing with the Svartalfar and my comparatively high dependance on recon units. The prospect of sending assassins, possibly supported by rangers.. intrigues me. It also seems to have an extremely good hero unit, Gibbon Goetia, which I'd love to have.
I haven't tried any of the heroes, and being a complete newcomer to FfH2, not really tried the would-be dramatic switch from a long-term Fellowship civilization to the Council.
For reference, I'm playing as a custom leader (Varenios Silveric) with Arcane/Charismatic/Defender traits.
