-{{:pretenders:ghost_king.png?nolink&33 |}}??Ghost King?? With new path cost of 20 the Ghost King is an interesting near rainbow.  I have successfully used Ghost Kings to expand from about turn 4 and up by forging a trinket shield and weapon with whatever gems you happen to have around.  Later you can add an armour.  I don't recommend trying to expand without any gear since it'natural weapon is very weak.  A quick research rush in alteration solves the protection issue.  Watch out for magic weapons that negate it's ethereal.+{{:pretenders:ghost_king.png?nolink&33 |}}??Ghost King??

 {{:pretenders:great_enchantress.png?nolink&30 |}}??Great Enchantress?? is my favourite true rainbow for any astral nation due to the free astral pearl each turn.  Many people prefer the ??Great Sage?? for the research boost and that is a viable alternative but with these nations pearls are very valuable. {{:pretenders:great_enchantress.png?nolink&30 |}}??Great Enchantress?? is my favourite true rainbow for any astral nation due to the free astral pearl each turn.  Many people prefer the ??Great Sage?? for the research boost and that is a viable alternative but with these nations pearls are very valuable.

 {{:nations:ma:bandar_log:asrapa.png?nolink&35 |}}**The ??Asrapa??s:** ??Summon Asrapas??, Blood 3 research, Blood 2 to cast and 11 slaves cost.  This gets you 5 pretty useless troops but that's not the wonder.  ??Asrapa??s have a hidden B1 magic when made commanders by ??Gift of Reason?? This means that you can get your first set with 91 blood slaves (empower 1 = 50, empower 2 = 30 plus 11 to cast).  This will take a while but is by no means hard.  Now you have real hunters.  It will burn some nature gems but there is no downside.  You have nature in hordes.  And it's very low on the research tree. {{:nations:ma:bandar_log:asrapa.png?nolink&35 |}}**The ??Asrapa??s:** ??Summon Asrapas??, Blood 3 research, Blood 2 to cast and 11 slaves cost.  This gets you 5 pretty useless troops but that's not the wonder.  ??Asrapa??s have a hidden B1 magic when made commanders by ??Gift of Reason??

-{{:nations:ma:bandar_log:dakini.png?nolink&35 |}}**The ??Dakini??:** ??Summon Dakini??, Blood 6 research, Air 1 Blood to cast, 81 slaves.  With monster paths and super thugging ability, the ??Dakini?? is the core of your economy.  Once you have begun to summon ??Dakini?? you can roll out in power and style.  In order to make life easy if not using a pretender with blood magic, I tend to empower a ??Kinnara?? from Conjuration 6 for summoning ??Dakini?? Given that both Bandar and Patala have excellent research you should be able to get to Conj 6 while scout hunting, get a ??Kinnara??, and make that your first blood mage while you then prep Blood 3 research and get some ??Thistle mace??s made.+{{:nations:ma:bandar_log:dakini.png?nolink&35 |}}**The ??Dakini??:** ??Summon Dakini??, Blood 6 research, Air 1 Blood to cast, 81 slaves.  With monster paths and super thugging ability, the ??Dakini?? is the core of your economy.  Once you have begun to summon ??Dakini?? you can roll out in power and style.  In order to make life easy if not using a pretender with blood magic, I tend to empower a ??Kinnara?? from Conjuration 6 for summoning ??Dakini??

 {{:nations:ma:bandar_log:danava.png?nolink&50 |}}**The ??Danava??:**  ??Summon Danavas??, Blood 8 research, Blood 5 to cast, 75 slaves.  You get 3 troop giants with sacred and horrific base equipment.  ??Davana?? are the heavy lifting beasts of the Lanka summons.  But the important part for this discussion is they have secret paths with ??Gift of Reason?? Check out them on the mod inspector or wiki.  You will get various versions with air and blood magic.  A2 are your cloud trapezing brutes.  A1 can become commanders of other Danava.  The blood versions can hunt while defending border provinces or go off fighting with blood vengeance buff.  And if you get some crappy randoms, they actually make pretty good reanimators in border provinces.  I happen to really like the monkey ghouls (pisacha).  They are not mindless, have high str, and give you some solid fort crackers for dirt cheap. {{:nations:ma:bandar_log:danava.png?nolink&50 |}}**The ??Danava??:**  ??Summon Danavas??, Blood 8 research, Blood 5 to cast, 75 slaves.  You get 3 troop giants with sacred and horrific base equipment.  ??Davana?? are the heavy lifting beasts of the Lanka summons.  But the important part for this discussion is they have secret paths with ??Gift of Reason??
