Default Re: Magic Scale

The best candidate for a drain scale other than Ulm is in my opinion Jotumheim - and I have used such a strategy with them, but not in quite some time. My reasoning is this: Jotun has, well, giants... and this means a couple things. First, they don't need to rely on battlefield magic for early expansion. Second, giants are hard to deal with without a lot of magical aid, so hurting an enemies' ability to use magic makes some sense. Jotun also has easy access to skull mentors to overcome the research penalty. The reason I stopped using the strat is that I'd much prefer my death gems be going into Wraith Swords...
