Re: Magic Scale
Well if you're very magic heavy and plan to have lots of mages, you might take a strong dominion and a strong magic scale and try to spread your dominion ahead of your armies so your mages will have an easier time of it. If you have more mages than him, the advantage is greater for you. Also if you have lots of astral or death magic (which often have to overcome magic resistance) and your opponent has say fire magic (which isn't affected by magic resistance), a high magic scale is again more useful for you than for him. If you're worried about the magic resistance of your own men though, drain might be better.
Playing Ermor makes this a difficult decision, since research is pretty critical, but taking drain protects your undead from banishment in your own domain.
