Default Re: Tien Chi - why no \"immortal\" pretender?

Is this possible to play Tien Chi _effectively_ and still be able to get one of national heroes ?
Both Barbarian Kings and Spring and Autumn require Turmoil. They are likely to compensate for this by taking a Luck scale. They will tend to get the national heroes quite soon. Both can be played effectively, although in the unmodded game, Barbarian Kings is somewhat underpowered. The base theme prefers order, and will therefore often take misfortune to get points. They'll tend to get the heroes much more slowly. However, the base theme isn't a good candidate for a bless strategy, and might not require an expensive pretender. One might choose not to mine misfortune for points, hoping for help from the heroes.
