Dormancy against computers seems to be a no-brainer to me, as they are often slow to attack you and you generally play on your own terms.

In a faster paced multiplayer game the dormancy can kill your research, especially in high drain dominion. I am still trying to figure out the tradeoffs of dormancy on a high drain nation, or nations with poor researchers like Yomi.

Im not sure how important it is to rush research early on, but I tried a high drain dominion with abysia (to add MR to my demonbreds because due to old age problems I use them almost exclusivly). I have a dormant god so my research will be next to nill for the first 5-10 turns. Does this put me at a significant disadvantage?

Basically, how important are those first 10 turns?
