Re: Which nations need help?
 

Yeah, in my SP games I've modded Pans to have a N4E1D2 (and increased gold cost to 400) plus added death to the random 10%. My goal is to improve all nations to the point where I don't mind playing on random race, and without some death magic Pan wasn't making the cut.

Make 4 MA Pans, and that's probably enough to get one with D1 (if you're incredibly lucky, there's about a .5% chance to get D2). But D1 is enough to cast all the national summons in any case. Also D1 is all you need for Dark Knowledge, so eventually you can empower your D1 Pan to D2. By then you should have researched Conj 6 for Lamia Queens, and then you'll have lots and lots of death.
