Re: EA Pangaea strategy
It's true that dispelling is often problematic for Pangaea, but with your huge nature gem income, you can often overpower other globals, get yours up first, and/or recast if necessary. Still, astral gems are easier to come by than any other except perhaps Death, because you only need Astral 1 which is easily achievable with many indy mages, so your territory should be covered by Astral Probes in relatively short order... and you definitely need a pretender with Astral 4 or better for starters just to construct necessary items and cast Dispel.
Just a few turns of Bounty puts you way ahead of the competition. Way, way ahead, with Order scales. With the amount of gems you camp pump it with, it often becomes tough-to-ruinous to dispel. Think 200 nature gems or more on a cast.
And you should probably have Growth with Pangaea, which Order goes very well with indeed, even without Bounty as you say.
