Upkeep costs

[tinkthank]

A spell that reduces upkeep sounds pretty neat.... but no, I cant think of a way. Maybe someone cleverer than I has an answer.

Avoiding upkeep: Rely on summons which dont require upkeep (some summons do).

magnate: if you're playing pythium w/ hydras, hopefully you're using Serpent Cult, as Hydras are holy and half upkeep in that theme

Ah! Thank you. I hadn't realised that (doh!). Any other differences I should watch out for? (I know the starting spells are different.)

Ooh yuck. I don't like the serpent priests - not nearly as good as the Theurgs. Any the hydrae are more expensive (300 vs 250).

Nope. Back to vanilla Pythium for me ... nothing to do with the fact that Arco pummelled me in about 10 turns with Normal AI ....
