Early Research Strategy for EA/LA Mictlan?

[Doo]

Mictlan should not be at peace in the early game, thats when they (should due to bless strategy) be at their most competitive (relatively speaking).

If playing Vanilla or CBM <= 1.6 beeline construction 4 for sanguine rods.

And push to 6 ASAP when you've got some basic Blood mojo going on for Lightless Lanterns - you've got F2+ mages in the cap to sitesearch and 1/40th of the Mictlan priests you're going to be recruiting day in, day out out of every castle has an F pick. You're going to be recruiting so many of them, you're bound to have half a dozen FB ones by year 2-3

You should be able to mint 3+ Lanterns a turn from then on, and don't really have better outlets for your fire gems either: Devils are already fire-immune if that's your current issue, and you've got no F+E mages so no Firebrands, Golden Shields or Charcoal Shields for you.
