Only if you play a nation like Abysia and take 3 Death and 3 Heat. I still simply don't see the minor bless benefits as worth an investment equivalent to _4.2_ scales -- and that's in the best case scenario.

As another example for Abysia, IMHO you'd be clearly better off taking 4 Fire, 3 Air on a Moloch, which would also cost less -- despite Moloch's path cost of 70.

I agree everyone has their own style of play, but would you really take a Fire 9 Pretender in a multiplayer game?

I was able to get Fortified City, 3 Order & Prod and i didn't have to take the death scale.

If you don't take the minors, you only get +3 Morale...

Why not? I don't consider 3 Order & Prod, Fortified City and non-negative Growth that bad.
