On this note, it can be rather effective to use an awake mother of rivers as pretender. Sure you get diseased from miasma, but you are titan so it doesn't really matter unless you get an unlucky early mute. The plus side is your huge water gem income allows you to get a ridiculous amount of ice drakes. I had about 200 by the end of year two in my only mp game with them, if I recall correctly. Summon and outfit some cold immune bane thugs for frontline duty (along with skelli spam), which handily come in the same paths you need to get the dragon masters up and running. Round it all out with grip of winter if you are in weaker dominion to give enemies a time limit. You can throw foul vapors down too if you want, as Ice drakes have enough hp to survive FF usually.

Something like E3/W3 mother of rivers leaves you a lot of points leftover, getting you the all important E path.

Since you can't clam hoard anymore and tarts are weaker, this strat is more appealing in 1.6
