Revelers=unrest, but not maenads

[Xietor]

I always take 3 order when i play Pangaea. Their troops are expensive. It is a tough choice to pass on free troops, but being able to buy many more high end troops is the choice i make.

That said, the reveler's description is such that would thematically work with attracting the wild naked women, if and only if a pan's flute is present. general unrest would not work. it would have to be unrest caused by a reveler, and you would have to have a pan present.

And, you are "paying" for these free troops, the same as when blood hunting. Unrest means less gold and production from that province. And if you patrol, it kills population.

So, I think even if revelers did produce maenads, you would have to sit a pan in a low pop province to collect them. But I doubt i would make that effort. Where they could be useful, is in your capital if you know you are going to be sieged. Buy some revelers and generate some troops while seiged to buy time for the calvary(if you have any) to arrive.

I would not want to lose the income and production from my capital unless it was an emergency. Maenads are not great troops, and they should not be, they are chaff. But they would help on sieges. Although Pangaea can typically summon a ton of stuff to help with sieges anyway.

BTW what is the upkeep cost of a Vine Ogre?
