Heyo. Im playing a game with the sidar atm and i have a few observations.
Shades are nice. I was experimenting with ways to get more xp so i could massproduce those great specialists. Unfortunately there wasnt any lairs or ruins around i could tap and the barbarians seemed to spawn very inconsistantly.
Luckily my problem was somewhat solved when 3 of my neighbours ganged up on me. Flaurus, Hannah the Irin and Sheelba just decided that I was due for a beating. The AI however was amazingly bad at massing an offensive and the attacks didnt do much but feed my units. I had gone for hunters and later upgraded them to ghosts. These units i like, I used them for ambushes and it worked really well.
Flaurus was taking the lead and he had vassals - the amurites, svartalfar and lanuns seemingly without much of a fight. At that point Flaurus again decided to have a go at me, he launched an invasion with losha valas, the trojan horse and a bunch of bloodpets. To my suprise the heroes were cut to pieces by my ghosts and he had to withdraw.
Earlier i had founded empyrean and since Flaurus had gone OO and neutral he was on the overcounsul with me. With Ethne the white my ally i forced Flaurus and his Vassals to declare war on Auric Ulvin who was his nothern neighbour and second on the scoreboard. Bet he regretted going neutral, eh!
The counsul thing is a bit dodgy. We decided on Liberty as the "world civic", it seemed smart at the time but i realized later that i wanted scholarship instead. The counsul window wasnt turning up and i got a bit impatient and quit the counsul. Now my Cultural values and membership civics seem locked. I can change them, but when i press revolution nothing happens.
Anyway, Flaurus lost his lead and his vassals left him and joined Ethne instead who now has a solid lead while my war with Flaurus has grinded to a halt. He assassinated my mages and now i gotta build siege to press on. bah.
But all in all, I <3 Sidar, very well designed and fun to play for a builder like myself.
