Guide: EA Agartha: The Ancient Lord SC.

[HoneyBadger]

Poopsi--

The reason not to use Oracles as SCs-atleast not in any comparable way to Ancient Lords-is because you'll never, ever, have the numbers to do so. Oracles are fantastic units, and I'd love to be able to SC them out on a regular basis, but that won't happen, because A: they're elderly, so a lot of them aren't fit for SC duty, B: they're Capital only, so you won't get very many, C: they cost 400 gold a pop. I *think* Ancient Lords cost 90 gold each... D: The ones you *do* get, that are still youthful, you need to put Boots of Youth on, to keep them around. Agartha is *literally* like squeezing blood from a stone.

Occasionally, you will get an Oracle that's youthful, and eventually, you should be able to produce Boots of Youth. They have other considerations than Ancient Lords, though, because of all their magical power. Oracles are probably oing to want a Staff of Elemental Mastery and Elemental Armour.
