Titan strategy

If you don't remember the exact contents of a stack, try to deduce what is in it.

There are a lot of clues that you can use to determine the contents of a stack. Early on you can guess the contents of a stack by how many times it has split. If you happen to remember the die rolls, you can usually determine what is in a stack. When a stack capable of recruiting moves into a terrain and doesn't recruit it probably means that the stack does not have any natives. In the late game, you can figure out how many top-level creatures your opponent has by subtracting the number still available and the number killed from 10.

Don't underestimate the strength of a enemy stack.

When in doubt assume that the strongest creatures are in an enemy stack. This lessens the change that you will move your legion into an unsafe position and lose it.

Splits to make when you are all alone.

ran cyc - recruits in marsh, plains, brush, and jungle. Will quickly become a big stack.
ran gar - same as above.
cyc cyc cyc from beh gor gar gar. Both stacks recruit behemoths in the jungle and gorgons in the brush. Soon you should have two big stacks, because nobody wants to fight burly green creatures in the bramble.

Marginal attacks can be better than overwhelming attacks.

When you attack with overwhelming forces, your opponent usually flees and you only get half points. However, when your opponent has some chance of winning, many times he will fight and you will get full points. There will be a small chance that you will lose, but it only takes a handful of marginal victories before you get teleport.

Attacking can make you stronger.

Things to learn.

• How to move - This greatly speeds up the game.
• The recruiting chart - Also speeds up the game.
• The complete rules - Know them forwards and backwards. Read them if you haven't done so already. If somebody taught you the rules orally, then they probably forgot something. ( Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, you can't summon an angel from a stack that has a battle pending. )
• The rules for each battleland - The time to learn how the terrain will affect you is before you get into the battle.
• Where each 6 will move - This makes moving much faster. Additionally, you can glance at the board and tell what stacks are threatening you.
• The number of each available creature - useful for figuring out how many hydras your opponent has.
