Hon. Wargamers;
My Hero build is strength 5, dexterity 5, Constitution 6, Intelligence 15, Wisdom 15, Charisma 15
My traits are Adventurer, Meditative, Tracker, Organized, and Cowardly. I also have a good pair of boots.
I begin my spell research with lightning, imbue essence, and Nature's Bounty.
My tech is spread evenly across the catagories.
I wander the waists in search of champions and imbue each one. Once lightning is researched, me and my growing family of imbued champions stomp everything that moves. once I have access to level two familiars, my party of seven Channellers and 7 familiars just keep leveling and raking in the gold. My cities are left to grow, sprout pioneers, and build a self defense force.
I don't attack other player cities, but anything in the wastes is fair game. Once a rival begins to send forces against my cities, I punish them with double restitution.
This does not win the game very quickly, but it does give you most of the games intended play experience.
I hope this helps.
Respectfully
Pleroma
