Lanka: unit stats, comments and tips

[mivayan]

Very nice guide.

Note: The Dakinis are H2, not H3.

And finally, the Mandaha (Blood 8, 133 slaves, needs B5D2) is Lanka’s best commander:

This guy makes for a fun SC, but perhaps that's a bad idea against humans. 100% weakness to fire....

The helmet also gives them a better boost from E9 bless if you use it. E9 + nature bless may be good since they'll kill slower than other sacreds with only one weapon.

Jack, the supply consumption is based on size-1 actually. A person (size 2) eats 1 supply and a knight has size 3 so eats twice as much.

I find Lanka to be an amazingly good nation. Thanks for the write up GrobRIM! The only thing you left out is the skeletal monkeys you can reanimate. Not amazing units by any means, but they're very fun.

I really like these guys, combat-wise, especially with a high bless. I totally agree about the bite, and donkeys/mules bite too, I promise! I'm curious as to why the heavy penalty against fire, since they live in heat and don't seem to have any water abilities or magic, but perhaps they're just really dry.

Heat != dry, HB. Ever been to the tropics?

I've been to Florida, the tropics are wet. You're thinking the desert, unless you're on a desert island, hence the name: "desert island".
