Re: Titan pretenders
I'll often use the Titans.
If I've got troops good enough that I don't feel I need an SC for early expansion/defense, then I'll often want a sleeping SC pretender for the mid-game who can also add magic diversity my nation lacks. Unless I'm looking for Earth or Death the standard Cyclops/PoD are far from the cheapest options. A rainbow (or even a lich) could get the paths cheaper, but can't play the SC role. With buffs and equipment any Titan can. And usually once he's done some summoning/forged some critical boosters, it's no longer a disaster if he dies and loses paths.
This is probably sub-optimal in many ways, mostly by being expensive. I play MP, but that doesn't mean I'm good at it.
