Extra effects of drain scale

[Saber Cherry]

I took Drain 2 as AE Ermor in an MP game. I wanted to go against the conventional wisdom and use brute force of high MR undead, and use the extra points for dominion strength 10...

It was very successful! Until the late game, when I got attacked with Ice Devils and Mass Regeneration and Marble Warriors and Blade Wind and so forth, all pumped by Relief... and I had no spells to counter. All my mages were expensive summons, and even the most expensive ones didn't research worth squat...

So, I died. And I think AE Ermor is the only logical Drain choice other than Ulm, or maybe N9/E9 Machaka on a small map.

Mictlan sounds like a more natural choice for Drain to me, since they should have a easier time getting away with their Drain, and they can do something nice with the points.

In Entwined Destiny (6 teams of 2), the Ulm-Mictlan was victorious, both of them running Drain 3. Mictlan went with a blessing strategy and poor scales, with Ulm acting as the money-maker. Well, I guess it did work pretty well.

Just to clarify: only magic units are effected by drain scale. other summoned units would only be effected by higher summoning costs.
