Quote: "You NEED order3, growth3(or they starve for sure), and no cold or heat scales like its possible in ma Rlyeh. You want your freespawns on land so they can attack most nations, with cold3 they would starve and you cannot effort the gold income hit as easily as with MA Ryleh. If those freespawns would not cost gold upkeep it would be possible to build more castles for supplies, though."

Out of curiosity, why not just let them starve? If you're worried about their upkeep, that is. If you're actually using them as chaff to throw at your opponents, they'll be dying fast enough that upkeep won't be as much of an issue.

Caveat: I've never yet played anything but EA.
