Sea King is a gamble to get Earth-2, but about 10 will propably do the trick. And Sea Kings can give you have access to every site-searching spell in the game, including Acashic Record if you want to.

I'm not sure why someone would want an astral 2 sea king instead of just a standard deep seer.

Astral and Death can be easily raised to 3 or even 4,

Death can be easily raised to level 4, astral cannot, since there is only one astral booster available to Atlantis.

(1) If you want astral boosters 3 stral-proficient pretenders are available to Atlantis. And with the Sea Kings covering everything I think astral is an obvious candidate as an alternate magic path for the 2 liches as well. So getting Rings of _____ry shouldn't pose a problem. And of course the Seer pretender can easily pick a bit of earth for Astral Coins too. You just have to ask yourself "do I want easy access to astral boosters or not?" when designing your nation.

(2) With all that hype about clam hoarding, I expect a good part of the Atlantis players will default to an Astral 6+ pretender, and will generate a comfortable astral output when they reach Construction 6. Even without an astral pretender these clams will make it easy to empower a mage to astral-3 in time.

(3) I've not seem him in awhile but I think one of the Atlantian heroes comes with Astral 3.

I'm still waiting for my copy of Dominions 2, but from the first demo, I can predict that I'd like Marignon + Fire. On the other hand, there are new races for Ascension Wars, and I'll look forward to playing Tien'Chi, with their composite bow archers and Red Guard... don't ask me why I want to use Red Guard.

I'm voting Marignon
