General Tips
Blood Sacrifice - Take this gift early, and use it! Lady of Disease should always be at an opponent's building. Double-team with Oblivion.

Heroquests - Remember when you finally achieve your big Heroquest (the one in two parts), you get a one-time infusion of Power. You can use this to establish board presence, summon your greater goddess, or build a Ziggurat, all of which set you up for the following turn. Do not waste it on petty revenge.

Late Game Fights - In the late game, the combo of Fear and Psychopomp rewards you for seeking out little fights; Spectral Form and Hellmother's Nocturnal Raids will help you survive these battles.

Building in Hell - A common beginner's mistake is to build a Temple or even a Ziggurat in Hell. This deprives you of that buildings special power. Keep your eyes on the surface world! Hell is a refuge, not a base of operations.

Let Sky Rot - Sky may try to talk you into letting Sun God out of Hell. But...the truth is that Hellmother is Darkness' only unit capable of releasing him, and she has better things to do. Let him rot.

Gift Strategies

 * Blood Sacrifice
 * Take this gift early, and use it! Lady of Disease should always be at an opponent's building. Double-team with Oblivion.
 * Catastrophe
 * A no-brainer. Literally.
 * I Fought, We Won
 * If you need Power, this will help. This is often a reflexive first choice for Chaos. Before you take it, consider if Oblivion or Imbed might be better.
 * Imbed
 * An Imbedded Nest is amazingly hard to dig out, and the extra power adds up.
 * Oblivion
 * The virtue of this gift is not so much that you remove enemy units; rather, the fear that you might do so paralyzes enemies.




 * Unholy Trio
 * At its best when two opponents battle. Jump starts the Mad God.

Story

 * Epilogue

"The thing surged over the hill like a tide of frantic insects. Fumes rose from them, and the stink choked our warriors. The Broos were insensate; easy enough to kill because they sought only blood for the Goddess and cared naught for their own deaths, and they kept coming. Even mortally wounded, they slaughtered us. Their deities were the same - an enormous, cosmic being stumbled in a clumsy charge into our lines, spreading death not only to our army, but smashing its own troops beneath its hooves."
