I am very surprised he doesn't die a horrible fatigue death about a round after he starts doing that. |
Well, if I remember, I went Alt-3, Conj-3 for summon earthpower. This is also a legitimate research strategy to benefit your national mages: aim, protection, eagle eyes, earth might, summon power spells, etc.
Yes this delays his expansion timing, but he's researching in the interim. As I said, you pick reasonable indies to use him against. He's like a Helkarl used for expansion except no glamour but he tramples+fear.
I consider the Freak Lord a hybrid rainbow/SC. He's not the greatest SC, but he adds just enough oomph to Jomon's expansion that I think he's worth considering. If you're careful that is.
