Re: The Ghost King
His versatility makes up for it about the time you cloud trapeze him on top of one of your opponent's armies and wipe it off the face of the earth. That's worth a 1-turn loss in expansion. The cyclops and wyrm generally don't end up with that kind of mobility. =)
I actually usually manage to use him to solo indies naked by choosing the weak provinces and have my national scout meet him with some armor a few turns later instead of losing a turn if I can't forge on turn 1. This will result in the occasional unlucky hit, but them's the breaks.
I'd also recommend that you take at least E2 with a GK to pick up summon earth power and then invulnerability (reinvig is important to get rid of the fatigue you take while buffing, strive to keep your fatigue score under 30 when engaged), E1 is a huge waste given how few points it takes for the much better E2. Nature is also not great to take in small quantities because the fatigue hit for personal regen is pretty huge (40 points!) which will generally get you killed.
