When ever Death 3 was a no-brainer? o_O

Except for Death nations that is. And maybe Abysia.

In games with QM or Arch it was almost a no-brainer.
They used death 3 basically always in vanilla Dom2 and still often in Dom2 CB.
And QM won almost all blitzes.

Somehow the usual Dom2 vanilla scales defaulted to magic 3 order 3 misfortune 3 death 3 sloth 3 heat preference +/- 1.

Only in longterm games growth scale was occasionally valuable, especially for blood nations. But there iirc Arch usually took death 3 nontheless and dominated with something else like mass vine ogres or van abuse or whatever .
You 3-player blitzes were small maps and fast games. I could see it being used then altho I think that if you know its coming that there would be a logical choice to combat it.
