But if you take the crone her dominion is 1?
If its a larger map then it should be hard to build a lab in a sage province and have normal research there.

Yeah, but the crone for pretender when you have Odin, who fits excellently with the rest of your units? It's too painfull, I would rather sacriface a bit more scales but have powerfull SC.

As for sage sure, it would help, but you can't build your entire strategy on finding a sage province. What if you don't? I've had many games where I didn't find a single sage province, or found it too late to make a differense. Besides even with 1 sage province it's only additional 4 reseach per point max with magic scale at -3.


To Huzurdaddy: The choice between misfortune 3 and magic -3 is quite easy IMHO. Fortune is the first scale that I sacriface for most of the nations, in case of Vans its almost no brainer if you want to have high bless imo. Magic on the other hand - I am not so sure. For example I am cursing myself for not taking +1 or +2 magic in my game with water 9 bless already, since vans are so slow in reseach even with normal scales.
