Silent Seas AAR

Just curious, but do the summoned Yaksha cost the same amount in upkeep as the hired ones? Oh, and while I'm on the subject of upkeep, is math still required or does the UI display upkeep for a given unit somewhere? It may be that I have seen a screen and missed that detail???

Wow, those Gandharvas are regular hard boys. The AI doesn't stand a chance!

Not that I have any idea, but "Divide by 15" isn't such difficult math

(neither is "If Holy, Divide by 30")

How many Gandharvas for how many gems the spell summons?

I would assume that summoned Yakshas/Yakshinis cost the same upkeep as recruited ones. As to upkeep costs, you still need to do math for the individual units as far as I can tell.

You get 6 Gandharvas for 18 astral pearls, so 3 pearls per Gandharva. I think this is about right - it means you can get a small elite force, but you can't flood the field with them.

Personally I think they pretty much rock, especially considering that in early era there are almost no prot 17 units - armour that thick just doesn't exist yet. So these guys stand out.
