Nope, in LA Kohen (or Kohen Gadol) don't eat pop any more.

Re: Gath- What does it have going for it?
 

Anymore? Since when? I played Gath in Kingmaker, and I can assure you, my Kohen Gadol were in fact eating people.

Re: Gath- What does it have going for it?
 

Well I haven't really noticed yet, but there isn't any flavor text saying they do.
What about a rainbow bless along the lines of E4-6, F4, S4? I also think that in a blitz game going F9W9 might actually be worth it considering their low cost, or maybe more like F9W6. I did think that there was a definite lack in regards to killing power, but that was probably just me being used to the Giddites or whatever the giants are.

@JimMorrison:

Well, I played Gath in ... what did I play Gath in. Methadone. And they didn't eat people. It's your imagination, or you were using some kind of mod that gave LA Kohen Gadols devpop.

And I just tested it, and I can assure you back ;), Kohen Gadols do not eat people.

Were you blood hunting with them? That will decrease your population of course.


@Trumanator:

With just 1 attack, F9 is not worth it IMO. You have S3 randoms already, S4 is not going to buy you a lot. You could just go with an E9 Cyclops, and good scales.

For offensive firepower, Flaming Arrows is a good bet, to give you some army power in addition to your thuggery.

Re: Gath- What does it have going for it?
 

I never had the territory or the income to actually start up my Blood economy. 8 \

But once I had about 10 Kohen hanging out, waiting to be geared, I noticed that my pop was no longer growing in my capital. Like I said, it's a small effect (if I didn't imagine it). I think I only had 1G, so 10 Kohen to offset that. < shrug >

Re: Gath- What does it have going for it?
 

Well I was thinking S4 for the rings, unless you think it would make more sense just to empower one of the S3.

Re: Gath- What does it have going for it?
 

Yeddeoni can forge Crystal Coins if given boosters, then give the coin and a cap to an S3 Gadol and he can make rings.

Unless you're thinking of an E4F4S4 Forge Lord for super-cheap rings, which sounds like a decent idea.

Re: Gath- What does it have going for it?
 

Gah! I keep forgetting people who have extra misc slots! First I mess up my master lich and give him S6 instead of S5, now I'm forgetting that extra the Kohens get!

Re: Gath- What does it have going for it?
 

100% SEF2 and 10% SEF1 means you've got about 1% chance of an S3. You might get lucky, but you'll need to be thinking about empower, coin and cap to get to rings with the Gadols.

Re: Gath- What does it have going for it?
 

they definitely need some earth bless, to take advantage of the multiple bracer slots.

also, check out the prvious commentary on Khols with censers. Stick a sic in the somewhere.
