[Gandalf Parker]

I LOVE Pans with Black Heart. They "test" the province each turn by tossing maenads into it. Sometimes you can see that its not worth messing with so you can move on. And when the commander turns on his troops the maenads assist. You can work your way across the map snatching up any weak provinces, boost the crap out of the PD there, recruit a few locals, while your Pan is moving on. It can be a real pain to your enemies. Worse yet, have the Harpy Queen make him some flying boots so he cant be easily tracked by his movements.

It might not be a winning strategy but its a pretty nice ally aid strategy.
