It’s been a while since the first of these strategy guides, but as I’ve said, I expect Fall from Heaven 2 to be a game that stays permanently on my hard drive and that I’ll come back to again and again, so here finally is my guide for playing as the Grigori. In many ways, this faction is considered the easiest for newcomers to the game to pick up and play as even the manual uses it in its introductory walkthrough. They’re certainly the most vanilla of the various factions available.
The reason for this is that in the lore, the Grigori are plain, unmodified humans who have rejected the Gods. They don’t have any special powers or abilities and most importantly, they can’t adopt a state religion. In game terms, this is a huge disadvantage as having a state religion opens the door to special buildings, units and even civics. To make up for this, the Grigori are the only faction who can access the special Adventurer units, which have the potential to become some of the most powerful units on Erebor.
