The 350 gold cost of Pan's is hard to justify even with the improved magics (over Dom1) and potential maenad production.
IMHO.

I still think this is because Misfortune is free points if you have Order (very little risk), and Turmoil/Luck doesn't work like it should.
But there's no question that Panii are still very very expensive for their magical skills. Given that Pangaea was widely considered weak in Dom I, I don't see why Panii couldn't have gotten the magic improvement at the same cost, or split into a Pan (200 or so for the Dom I magic skills, maybe 1-2 less maenads per turn) and a Pan Elder (Dom II stats and cost, maybe capitol only).
