Blood God Strategy

**SMIDSY** · February 19, 2010, 11:15 AM

So the other day a buddy of mine suggested that I try a new strategy based on psychotic aggression and mindless brutality. The idea is you attack anyone you want, whenever you want. If you are at peace with a lot of people then you attack one. Goals of battles have nothing to do with maintaining your troop numbers, only enemy kills. All dead are to be mentally tallied as "Offerings to the Blood God" (to make you feel better about throwing so many of your guys away).

Have had great success with this and it is truly fun. You can even modify the victory conditions, instead basing them on enemies killed. Not sure if there is a feature you can check that on, but I just write it down.

A humanside "melee bug" sort of playstyle? Indeed, the prospect of great armies rushing together to... DIE is a glorious one. Scale a wall in one area only, perhaps?

That sounds like fun!. You should do a "1 million kill" victory, then you work towards your goal and get that 1 million kills acheivement

If you want to go for the million kill victory only, I recommend playing Custom Battles against Natives on Ultra unit size.
Or Austrian line-inf heavy armies maybe.
