The Ghost King

Either give him a strong astral score to avoid magic duels, or give him none. Indi lizard shaman or crystal sorceress killing pretenders are a no-no.

Good point. Better to forge him some luck, as he already comes with Etherealness.

The ability to forge a decent armor on the first turn does indeed make the ghost king far more appetizing. Apart from Ulm I think early and mid Agartha can do that. Can't think of any others off the top of my head.

True, but many nations have natural gem incomes of >=3E (or =2E,>=1S for alchemy) and can therefore forge on turn 2. So he researches Alterartion on turn1, and is smashing indies on turn 3. What do you think?
