First, because ancient lords and boulder throwers are both sacred and so if you go with +3 -3 +3 +3 -2 +1 Dom 5 awake md you will be building a total of 5 units. Increase your Dom at the cost of either magic path, scales or awake. And to tell the truth, the next build I post up uses a dormant pretender.
But Second, people forget that Sloth *also* has events that are crippling too. They may not be as hugely negative - but a quick brigand on your capitol hoses you. Things like brigands, barbarian attacks. And some of the sloth events are unlocked at the beginning, wherease the plague events unlock at what is it, 3, 5, and 10?
