Re: Magic scale
Yeah, I can see situations where Drain-2 isn't a big disadvantage. Low MR troops, for instance. The penalty to research might or might not be a problem; I'm playing C'tis with Magic-3 at the moment and those shaman researchers are really nice (6 rp/turn for 100 gold, sacred = 1/2 upkeep). If I'd taken Drain-2 my best researcher would be Sauromancers (6 rp/turn for 200 gold, normal upkeep) with Skull Mentors. Either double the cost in gold (4x the cost in upkeep) or a lot of death gems. Since I plan to use Cloud of Death quite frequently I think Magic-3 ended up being a nice investment, which maybe answers my own question about investing in Magic. Still, I was hoping that my troops wouldn't take the MR hit from my own dominion.
