please forgive me if I'm doing idiotic things XD I need to know what I am doing wrong and what I can do better.
Strategy - Rescue with a purple king, band all but teal hero to battle. Have Elishama or jehoram priest in battle with abilities active. Use their abilities to put Jehoiada's Strength on character in territory. Come back from battle.
Next turn, Go rescue with guy having Jehoiada's Strength on him. Band all but one purple hero, make sure Elishama or jehoram enter battle. put unified kingdom on a purple hero (preferable david) Come back and go to square one.
Thx KingLeo

1st u can only have one copy of each Dom
Otherwise everyone would play 4 SoG and 4NJ
2nd I think u need to use more then uniques and use less duplicates of characters other wise you will end up hand clogged.

Also, you really should put in every useful Dom in T2, since the cap isn't an issue.

Also agreed. I've tried to make this deck in the past and run into problems relying on certain characters while at the same time not getting hand clog. If you have more than 2 of any unique character, you will end up with hand clog sooner or later, and 4 copies will hurt you. Further, you only have 3 purple kings. I would recommend adding King Hiram. Like Solomon, he can pull out your fortresses. With both of them, you may be able to cut back on total fortresses as well.
As someone who has played Canaanites, you should keep Delegates x4, but cut back on the number of Lot's Wives at least, probably the others. They come back with Fortify Site (you need 4, trust me), and right now, besides the delegates, you can only play 3 characters. That's too few. Throw in Jezebel, who is fun anti-meta in general and can burn opponents' enhancements if you give up SI with it and can remove troublesome characters without granting it in most cases. Also include Shechem. He may not be the greatest, but he gives you another option. Abimelech is an amazing character as well, even without using Gideon. Give yourself more options to play.
As said before, you need 4 Fortify Sites. You also need 4 Gibeonite Trickeries and 4 Stones of Thebez. I know it is a lot of enhancements, but you will win battles outright without them being able to do a thing about it. For an interrupt, use JiP instead of Denying Blame, and if you end up with any room, Hunger is just mean when played on Delegates before Trickery.
