We're not in the iron age dude.
The problem is, we already are drowning in bodies. And we don't have the numbers to contest their numbers. Even if we could get more troops, they would just be regular mooks against the shit ton of boarfolks.
They'll get swamped by hordes of nomads. Quantity, my friends, quantity.
I suppose problems would be from potential future goddesses or other additions to the pantheon's portfolio.
How much do we need this on a scale of 1 to 'Its the difference between the Memtir being wiped out or not'.
We're not really very good at magic compared to other civs though; our advantage is our econ and infrastructure.
Do not forget that Quality of Its Own further increases our Martial based on our Econ.
And crashes our econ when the conscripted mooks die.
fair. But magic.
I was watching something which slowed my reading speed, that AN quote hadn't been posted at the time that the page loaded so I just plain didn't know.
And techs. We got a shit load of techs thanks to an abundance of Heroes.
plus holy warriors increases the possibility of combat magic.
Yeah, but it's more widespread stuff and less concentrated effects. Stuff like the civ-wide blessing and our priests having widespread magical skills is more useful when raising large numbers of soldiers, less so for a few bands of skilled elites. We don't have anything like the immortal heroes of the lowlands, for example.
You know who else have been described as "at the natural limit a human can reach"? Batman.
I mean, we're probably the best civ at magic left, at least in our corner of the pond. The only one who could challenge us on that level are the nomads, and I'm pretty sure we would've noticed if they had significant deiffic backing.
Yes, but not good enough for sacred warriors to be a viable solution. The magic we have is more geared towards massed armies.
