Default Re: standard pangenea : usefulness of maenards ? or rely on blood ?

gandalf do you try to bloodhunt with pangenea too or do you try to strengthen them later on by conjurations like lamia queens and so on ?

i myself tried to rush first to crossbreeding and make an impressive force with this because 20 units for 15 blood slaves is nice .

but setting up a blood economy is much more difficult with pangenea than with abysia or marignon df . i even tried a FoB pretender + high economy scales and patrolled with harpies .
with growth your population still growth and you don't lose taxes but annoyingly the fob gets in average only 10 blood slaves / turn.
with a normal blood hunter like a demonbred i get about 6-8 in average so almost the same return.

a small drawback from the cross breed spell is that if you are unlucky you only get 20 foul spawns and most of them cost even 0.67 upkeep so almost the same as a revelrer but are worse fighters . it's a big gambling .

guess i try a blood hunting jotunheim next since the gygias have n1 bl1 so i can use crossbreeds + frost fiends .

may i ask what pretenders you normally choose with pangenea gandalf ?
