Early game with LA Marignon

[triqui]

Blood angels are better, but having both is even better And since one of them cost pearls and the other cost slaves, it is pretty good to use both resources.

However, you have a quite good point in the fact that empowering once a royal navigator makes for half the problem. However, having a f9s9 bless on the angels isnt bad either. MR is good to have in SC once soulslays/enslave minds/paralyze start to flow. And if we factor in the empowerment, the coin, the astral helmet, and both rings, we are talking about 100 pearls or so. That's the price of 3 angels of fury. So i could have 4 of them with baphamot by the time i could do 1 with an empowered sailor.

About having a hammer to forge, using the Forge lord is twice as good . Should i consider it?

I like awake SC for early expansion though. Especially flying SC. Moloch isnt bad.

So i guess i have a bunch of options, each of one has adventages and disventages.

Oh crap, this game is so good...
