Re: Lanka pretender design/strategy
I agree with K that the W9N9 bless rocks, especially since berserk stacks. Even the weak asura(?) 5 for 11 slaves, athame and berserk, kick with this bless.
The vast majority of your national summons are sacred, so a bless keeps on giving. Plus, both your cap only and your non-cap only tough sacreds are pretty tough.
The +1 research makes the little 3 research guys you get a lot of for 90g a bit more worth it, drain is obviously less so.
I personally like turmoil/luck (1 or 2 turmoil, 2 or 3 luck) for the extra cash and more importantly the extra gems.
Growth is great for longterm income and slave replacement although IMO its either growth 1 (minimal increase) or growth 3(max increase)...for some reason I never use growth 2.
I'm not sure if you can swing it (haven't tested), but if you can add a minor bless as well its nice.
F4 fixes the lack of fire magic, and allows empowerment in blood later for devils. +atk is always good
E4 is key imo - recup is always good, and means you may only have to empower one level on each blood stone maker. Father Illearth can help out a bunch here, 85 slaves for B4E4 methinks.
S4 - astral is always good, +MR vs banishment
D4 - even D3 is enough to easily bootstrap into a death mage path, revenent, mound(?), etc +affliction might be good with wrathful and such but minor
Even an A4 bless might help - 20% fend and you have someone to build your first air booster for all your 3A mages. The 20% fend might be nice for the demons with no shield.
just thoughts, i've got very little practical experience with Lanka in MP
