Witchcraft Tips
It's been a while since I have played with this fantastic mod, so it was really cool to see such cool new developments in my recent campaigns. From those campaigns, I’ve created a list of several tips that may help other players when playing with this mod:

1. By sorting AI in the character finder by health, You can instantly find the Ring Of Life (which I always rename to "My Precious") at the beginning of the game. The AI at the top of the list will always have the Ring. I'd argue that it's the best magical artifact to go for first because of the longevity it provides. Within the first century of your character's life, you can easily unlock all magic perks and take all artifacts for yourself.

2. You can find most (if not all) magical artifacts without using magical triangulation by searching by the "true witch" trait in the character finder.
Almost always, a true witch holds an artifact or has a claim on one other magical artifact, and that window allows you to see its current holder.

3. Playing with an Iberian culture with the "Ritualized Friendship" cultural tradition makes everything significantly easier (in the same way it does in the base game). By unlocking the befriend ability without going down the diplomacy tree, you can befriend plenty of demons (with OP stats and prowess) and invite them to your court for outstanding councilors and knights, all at the very start of the game. In my most recent campaign, I became best friends with the demon Fortun, who makes for an incredible martial to command my forces (also, he always has the highest kill count in my battles, lol).

Please feel free to add your own gameplay tips to this post. Happy gaming! :ambitious_trait:

  • You can also use the character finder to find the Yaga trait. If Baba Yaga is a ruler, she is seated in a place of power you would like to have. Admittedly, she is strong, so perhaps an open attack will not be possible for a long time. But even then, Baba Yaga has three daughters, who are quite a target for a Seduce-Invite-Marry operation ;p
    (PS: Baba Yaga appears in the game within the first 10 years, so you may not find her at the beginning.)
  • Once you are a mage, you can also look for a head witch hunter. It's the witch hunter who is a ruler, there will usually be one. He is the one who is responsible for trying to kidnap you and sends hunters who may also try to murder you. Disabling him (preferably by domination or imprisonment) will keep you safe for a while.
