MA Pythium.

Principes are excellent. Beyond that, Pythium is about Astral magic and communion. That's my view anyway. Growth is probabably a good idea due to the old age problems.
Wouldn't you prefer Emerald Warriors over Principes?

They cost too much IMO, both resources and gold. Also, Principes have strategic move 2, Emerald Guards have 1.

The earth blessing can be very useful for pythium : more reinvigoration is always nice with sacred mages, and more so if you try to use communion.

Yes, an earth blessing is amazing with large communions, it helps to stop your communicants from dying .

Are the higher pythian mages pre-loaded with Communion Master like the greebles are with Communion Slave?
