I wish I had been stockpiling death
As Chris well knows, my 5 death-gems per turn have been going to first summoning a revenant who has then been chain-summoning Mound Kings so that I have *somebody* able to move the mindless manikin around. Sadly EA Pans have no inherent Death gem income and no deathmages to lead the manikin, so this has been a very interesting experiment (one that I don't think I'll try again; the micromanagement is bad enough with just maenads, and now I have double the trouble with manikin too, and not to mention my population is dieing off way too fast for my tastes in this game with slow research... wonder if somebody would be interested in dispelling CW for me?).
Tartarians sound like a good idea. If I change all my research to Conjuration now, then I would hit Tartarians 51 turns from now. I'll keep that in mind though if I happen to stumble on some death-sites producing death gems
Of course I actually would need somebody to do the summoning, but if I ever got around to that, things certainly would be possible to arrange.
Burden of Time is such a nice spell in SP, but in the MP group I usually play in BoT would be the same as painting a bulls-eye on my forehead, and I don't think it would be any different here. Also, Thaumaturgy has so little to offer to Pangaea, but if I ever succeed to climb out of the cellar in the research department, I sure would eventually hit Thau 5 too
Anyway, eagerly awaiting for the next trick you Chris will have!
