Re: Bandar Log
Well for pretenders, I tend to favor an Oracle. It costs nothing and has a high starting dominion, so I can use the points I save for scales. I usually imprison give him at least one full bless, as well as enough Astral magic to cast any of their unique Astral summons. Hm what else...Order is nice to have with BL. Production doesn't seem to be a big issue if you stick to using the naked archers instead of the armored variety, and even though your White One warriors need some resources, you can only recruit so many a turn anyways because they're sacred. It will be difficult trying to mass your frontline Bandar soldiers with a Sloth scale though, so I suggest at least Production 1. If you have Order scales, it can offset a little bit of Misfortune if you need points. I personally like to put points into Magic scales to research my national summons quickly. If you can get a large enough pearl income from site searching, the Ghandarvas you can summon can easily replace the large Bandar soldiers with their extra stats and that they don't eat supplies. Plus, they are Sacred as well, so they can benefit from a good bless. I tend to be the one with the really high dominion later in the game because of my habit of building temples whenever I have the money, even before I build fortresses.
The chakram dude I think you can use like any other light infantry with a javelin. However, his lack of a shield kind of worries me a bit. I haven't really gotten to use him yet...
