so all in all perhaps this one single strat beats my vampire horde strat .
fortunately for me though the spell is pretty lategame .
by this time i will be able to wish myself probably .
Your vampire horde is also a rather late game strategy, so you really should include everything else your enemies would be able to throw at you.
it depends who uses it .
but as mictlan/abysia i can bloodhunt early and start early summoning my first ones .
especially mictlan is a formidable clamhoarder too .
so their blood income will always be huge .

and there are really few better uses in the long run for 100 astral pearls than wishing for blood .
250 blood are almost 5 vampire lords who are quite formidable on their own already .

if you wish scs you need to GoR so lets say either you get 1 unequipped sc or 5 vampire lords .
you need to equip the sc normally .
so lets add about 50 gems at least to equip.

i think it is fair to say then at least 6 vampire lords vs 1 equipped + GoRed sc .
if the vampire lords only summon 10 turns vampires it is already 6 vampire lords + 60 vampires vs the 1 sc .

the more time i have the more i grow out of control with the vampire strat then.
as long as i stay in own dominion you can't kill them with anything .


so you almost can't attack me in my own territory and everytime i get positive dominion in one of your provinces which neighbors me i can conquer this one easy again .

and i can throw ghost riders / flames from the sky etc. on your provinces with effect or make raids with special forces for this purpose .
