Ctis Desert Tombs

Pfft, you end up getting disease after your troops starve in zero pop lands anyway

At least you can clean up Miasma. Pretty hard to revive a 0 pop province I guess a random event that moves population there and a few hundred turns with growth scales ?

Heat 2, Death 2.

It's not a domain of total burnination like Ermor, which causes people to starve...but even Ermor's dominion is merely unwelcoming, rather than flat out hostile, like Miasma C'tis.

Ermor's dominion totally destroys the usefulness of a province, while Miasma is easily cleared up.

Would be nice if Desert Tombs theme allowed you to recruit at least the level_1 unholy priests.

Well, you can bring your own food, but nothing quite abolishes that "augh my troops are dropping dead in front of my very eyes" feeling of Miasma.

I never understoof how Desert Tombs could cost so much more than any other theme in the game, yet appear to have few or no significant advantages over, say, Ashen Empire or almost any other theme you can name. Other than the really weak ones.

Well... It does allow for a nation with very strong undead summons and unholy power while retaining good living troops and strong holy magic.

Based on the purpose of the theme most would trade the holy priests for unholy priests.
