Its probably just horrible luck, but every time I try and play the D'Tesh I end up a long ways away from any neighbors, even playing on over-crowded maps, or near one of the few civilizations I don't want to fight. Can anyone offer any tips for how to expand as the D'Tesh when you can't engage in early warfare to gain slaves? Is that just a impossible scenario, or do I have to somehow get an army 30+ turns across barbarian lands just to get some slaves which then have to be carted back?
