For Evil I would buy the following:
Armory (40,000)
Fire Miracle (60,000)
Ranged Armory (70,000)
Lightning Miracle (90,000)
Volcano (1,000,000)
Punishment Spike (10,000) - putting these around your Volcano will allow it to charge up faster.
Also get the following "Good" things, they come in...
I managed to beat the game again, but the bonus land doesn't show up. I know I got statues #2 and #3, but maybe I forgot statue #1. :( Ah, well, I guess I can try it again.
Well, now I am having a problem casting epic miracles. I remember there was a thread on this already, but I can't find it. Basically the screen fades to black, there's lots of noise, but when the game comes back, the miracle has failed to work.
Now that I am back on the last land, it seems that the Aztec god has more platoons and more archers that fire flaming arrows. I just had a army of 300+ wiped out trying to take a town. I've tried luring the Aztec platoons near my town and using the Siren miracle on them, but they seem to come...

Adding resources to a storehouse or foundation
After several false starts, I managed to get in a game that lasted 10 hours over 3 days. :shocked My final alignment was 100% Evil, but my creature went from 100% Evil to 16% Evil as I played the last land. Don't know why, I had him stomping on platoons left and right. Now I have to redo the...
Ok, now I am on the last land and there appears to be some problem getting into the second to last town. My creature says "I can't go there" when I try to send him in. My armies won't go in either. The Good Advisor said something about there being a back way around, but I don't see it. I...
:D
I backtracked several times when I found myself in a hole, which was usually because I used up resources. I tried to stay away from "god building" to conserve resources and waited until my peeps built stuff for me. I am trying to beat the game as Evil now, but when I have done that I plan...
16 hours over 17 days, with a final alignment of 76.5% Good. My creature was 100% Good. I had to be somewhat evil to do this, getting the tribute from taking cities by force, etc.
Is there any way to stop the hurricane that the Aztec god keeps throwing at you? I've tried building walls, using the shield miracle. It seems to strike in the same place, should I just not build anything there?
I too have found myself ignoring silver scrolls just to win the land as quickly as possible. They ripped off a lot of the quests from simple puzzles (the curling game, the enemy creature puzzle) ; I was disappointed in them.
