[Dragar]

My entire build so far is:

Imprisoned Divine Glyph F4E4S9B4
Dominion:7 (glyph starts at 4)
Scales: Order 3 Production 3 Growth 1 Misfortune 3 Magic 1

In test runs I have found that the limitation on building Lava Warriors is not dominion but resources. Even at 7 dominion I can rarely cap out due to resource limitation, but want it at least that high as obviously spreading heat is important for Abysia.

If I removed Blood 4 the biggest thing I could improve on would be Luck, the misfortune is painful early until I have decent PD in most provs to handle the barbarian hordes than invariably invade. So I could drop Misfortune to 1, and maybe have enough left over to get Dom 8? In return I lose the +2 str bless on all my Lava Warriors and require a chunk of blood and several turns to empower my glyph when he finally gets outs... One could also argue to drop the growth and eliminate misfortunate altogether, especially as I am to rush Constr 6 and get Boots of Youth before training any old age mages

I'm not sure, in my mind that strength bonus is worth it for my double-hit sacreds, I could be wrong though.

Note that blood/earth give some useful combinations too. As the glyph isn't going to be used for personal combat (unless I'm attacked at capital or have fanciful ideas about teleporting around with a poor combat chassis) pretty much anything useful its going to do besides research will take a lot of gems, hence I'm happy to keep him imprisoned and plan to have some decent supplies for forging and rituals when he's out.
