Funny story from yesterday trying out fall from heaven 2 my first time (very professionally done on the mod by the way), was on shuffle and got on a small island type map as the insane jester king, Orthus spawned at the bottom of my island and tried to kill him with 4-6 merrymen but they ended up dieing and a hill giant also wandering down there.
Later on after all the experience from my warrior Orthus was at 8 strength combat 5 and he wandered up into my land towards of octopus holy city, got him to chase a scout away from there but he heads to my third city with little to no defense in it and captures it and holds it ( and gets a culture border of its own )
Here's where it gets fun.
after getting Loki and drowns I head down to the city to try and retake it, I figure loki +4-5 drown should take it no problem right?
Wrong.
The red dragon spawns in the captured city, and there I am .. 18 strength unit in my captured city... going wtf, if that wasn't the worst, the Sailers Dirge showed up and started to spawn skeletons around the place.
So built the demon drown hero and got him to to 30 or so experience and got a army of 5+ drown and didn't attack until my 7 strength hero had a 60-80% chance of beating the 18 strength dragon, oh and my neighbor also declared war on me while I was assaulting the city and was hitting me with just a couple boats.
Kept wondering how I could get all that in one place, but after killing them I ended up having a unbeatble hero that destroyed the attacking civ by himself ( with a couple drown to guard his galley and defend cities )
When I quit my hero had around 110 experience and 120% city attack 125% strength and 9 strength and 2 movement with Orthus's axe just after beating my neighbor.
