Default Re: Tragic poor pretender design is limiting MA Va

Is this what you are saying:

1) Vanir are very good units, and worth their high cost.
2) Due to being so good, Vanir cost more gold than many other sacreds.
3) Because of this, Vanheim gets away with much lower dominion when bless-rushing. They can't afford more than 3-6 Vanir any way, and each of these can go toe-to-toe with other sacreds of about the same cost.
4) Thanks to low dominion requirement and ability to take sloth (Vanir have low res cost), death (no old age), cold (preferred cold 1, due to seasonal change cold 2 doesn't hurt much more than cold 1) they can afford better pretender, that helps them even further.


That's how I understood it. Quite clever. We all know that Vanheim is good, though. I'd rather see a good explanation, AND a good solution, for sacred units with high resource cost.
