As a sheer non-numerical analysis, and speaking of SP - I like growth better than death if I can spare the points and get the paths I want. SP games tend to have many more "slow" turns and thus go longer. I've been around year 6 really wishing I didn't have death-3 as I'd like to sit back and hold my borders as I conjured/itemized and knowing I had to keep conquering to overcome upkeep. Huge swing though, even from death-3 to just growth 1
