Feeling excited about Mictlan

[aldin]

Thanks for the quick response Teraswaerto! To follow up on your responses:

Relying on capitol only units is not good on the long run

It seemed to me that Mictlan shifts very naturally into summoning troops as time goes on, am I mistaken?

17 research is good for start only, so 3 drain will be hard later on

.
I figured on burning pell-mell for CON6 and grabbing lanterns to give to the 80 gold priests (6 research per with lanterns). A lucky mercenary pickup could grant me owl quills or skulls too (and I'm hoping to find something to summon with 2D also).

Mictlan mages are expensive

Absolutely, but they're mage/priests which is nice, they aren't needed much early while the pretender is doing the bulk of the research, and a rapid advance tends to mitigate the high expense through increased gold income.

Are my responses reasonable? Or are there big glaring holes in my logic waiting to swallow me whole?
