Seems there is a recurring need for discussions of what the little guys can do against the bigger guys.
Generally my feelings are in general:
- never lump your assets together
- always spread your characters out
- stash a resurrection class cleric
- if you have access to nomad pop spread them out in some camps to provide some logistic support
- change force numbers
- learn to skip jump in and out of ruins and locations to both use the MAR of the locations as well as to stay out of soldier raid range
- learn to make barriers
- learn anti production spells like reduce flora, winternight,
- try to get someone with the pox or plague and have some healing potions with him and invisibility
- use scout killers, forces with 3 or 4 soldiers designed to sweep ahead of where you are going to kill other people’s scouts,
- have city watch patrols, often with flyers to nail other people’s scouts
- sometimes use a shadow city in the same location as your main to shuttle resources and use SEI spells
- transfer stuff to and around your markets, guilds and location to avoid pinching
- try to develop covert skills
- ego attack and MAR spells can be a nice combination….kill someone and then put a shell on the target to hurt resurrection
- learn to summon resources so that you can cause depletion and anchor targets
- learn teleport and Power Point teleportation
- go into your enemies forces so that he can disband them and make him use up his force limit
- try to drain off as many enemy defensive actions as you can
- use rumormongers to locate things like cloud castles (if your game give exact locations) and use it regularly on your own location to find who is lurking around
- try influence raids if you have a match up on the races
- convert lower level loyalty characters to wierd religions to cause pop/loyalty revolts
- challenge home guilds for control and use the guilds as trojan horses to attack sei from within
- build a guild in an enemy location to really twist his nose, though you will lose the guild it again eats up actions
- create information banks and send it to his/their enemies
The most important thing in running a resistance movement is to NEVER GIVE UP or DROP OUT, an ulcer is only as good as it continues to bleed.
