Just wondering if there are any scales that are too be avoided at all costs (aside from the unique exceptions like Ermor and Death or Niefel and Cold)? I recently joined an MP game and am playing Drain-2 (and I am not Ulm) and wondering if I made a horrible mistake as my research slogs along at an unbelievably slow pace. I am playing a strong bless nation so my troops are fine but fear my mages will be casting magic missiles when others are busting out the meteor storms (to borrow a D&D analogy).
I also have come to fear negative Luck, though I know many take it in conjunction with Order. It seems to hone in on my natural unluckiness [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon22.gif[/img] and hit me extremely hard.
I never take Death either though have no basis for that - it just seems so unpleasant
