Lot of interesting stuff there actually. 2 awake pretenders (or at least 2 with magical paths, I suspect pythium also has an awake pretender used for patrolling in the first turn (700+ gold? wow!)).
But I cannot really interpret the dominions part, and does pythium start with better gem sites? (because they have 8 gems, instead of just 5). |
My guess would be a pretender that gives free gems. I did 140% tax and patrol. You can do higher and have better scales. I just stuck with 140% because high quick often left me with unrest. |
