Trying to improve my MA Abyssia Pretender Design

[Squirrelloid]

Worried? About MA Pan? lol?

Heavy stuff? not so much. It might go toe to toe with your humanbred...

Buy PD with your bloodhunters, you'd be surprised how effective 2-3 hunters, 10 PD, and a little bit of blood research is at foiling raiding. Just Blood 1 gives you imps, which dramatically increase the difficulty in raiding the province. (And Pans make poor thugs)

MA Pan's early game is not that strong. And they're going to be charging down alteration so they can turn most of their Pan into animals and save on upkeep.

The diplomacy in the early game is not about drawing in an ally, but about making deals with neighbors so they don't attack *you*. If you're talking to them, you've just decreased the odds they're going to rush you by quite a bit (cause the guy who isn't talking to them is going to be worrisome for them - if they attack you and that person attacks them, they're suddenly in a two-front war.) Just the act of communicating lets your opponent know that he can secure agreements with you because you can be contacted.
