Oh, in answer to your other question I almost always go to con-4 first with Mictlan, though of course there are different ways to play it. The main reason is because up until around that point your mages are more useful researching than blood hunting. You don't need any blood summons immediately because your holy troops are tough enough to deal with whatever they need to initially, and you're capitol's naturual income is enough to keep you blood sacrificing at first. The nice thing about using all those Mictlan priests to research is that the very turn that you finish researching construction-4 they can all forge themselves sanguine rods.

So, after getting construction-4, and then researching blood for a while, does construction-6 ever kick in as a priority? With non-blood nations I love those lightless lanterns, and I like to make them sooner rather than later, but is that important to Mictlan?
Also, one of the biggest problems I'm having with my Mictlan setup is that I'm reluctant to put earth on my pretender, and I'm not seeing any good way to get over to earth, except for maybe hoping to find an indy, or maybe summoning spectres. Do Mictlan players always put earth on the pretender, or simply live without, or am I missing some possibility here?
