2 Orlanthi, no Vingans. 1 all-around good Orlanthi, getting long in the tooth, a good one to send on HQ's.

Funny you should ask. I had a Humakti once. A perfectly good Humakti. Put her on the ring when my previous warleader went to defend Elmal's stead in the sky. She died in the very first raid we defended against, by "fighting bravely." Lasted less than 2 seasons. Ol' what's-her-name.

The Elmali I have as warleader (hah!) is a whippernsnapper with next to no skills other than VG Combat. The 1 OK Orlanthi could go on a HQ, but he either wouldn't be on my ring (penalty) or we wouldn't have 7 different cults represented (penalty). Which penalty is worse--does anyone have a feeling?

Ah, the 6 year plan. 6 years of peace.

I do have the Raven Banner, so I know I can win combats if I have to. But the only raids I've won this game, even with Excellent warleaders, have been using the RB or with the Seeing Wind.
Got my mojo working. But working well? That's another thing entirely...
On another subject, when the earthshaker comes and knocks down steads, do you have to feed her hay to get her eggs? Do you have to search immediately after the event? Or what?
