| |
| | Aside from the lack of {{path>W1N1}} for ??Mossbody?? and ??Foul Vapors??, LA Pangaea's biggest departure from its previous iterations is its lack of {{path>N4}}, making **??Mother Oak??** just out of reach without remarkable luck on a 10% random or (more likely) a {{gems>45N}} [[Empowerment]]. Fortunately your Mages are all rather hardy and long-lived, making such investments in them a lot safer than those in humans. |
| | |
| | There's also [[Communions]], of course; Blood has been lost, but you now have a supply of {{path>S1}}'s, so you can now build up to buffing spells like ??Battle Fortune?? or point-buff blocks of Dryad Hoplites with ??Body Ethereal??. Alternatively you can assemble batteries of ??Soul Slay?? or ??Enslave Mind?? casters if you tune your ratio of slaves-to-masters properly, or bring one caster up to ??Light of the Northern Star?? and have a larger force of ??Mind Burn?? users. You also have {{path>E1S1}}'s and {{path>S1N1}}'s, so you can forge a ??Crystal Matrix?? and boost your Panii; the Panii can support the Slaves with ??Summon Earthpower??'s [[Reinvigoration]], at least. |
| | |
| | Communions with LA Pangaea have some complications, though. For starters, while your {{path>S1}}'s are on the cheaper end by [[nations-la|Late-Age]] standards, you're still matched or outmatched by quite a few ([[ulm-la|Ulm]], [[patala-la|Patala]], [[gath-la|Gath]], [[r-lyeh-la|R'lyeh]], and [[erytheia-la|Erytheia]]), and all of those except for R'lyeh will outdo you in Mage production due to having 3-CP Citadels. This makes [[Magic Duel]] a legitimate concern for you, especially if they add to their starting [[Gems|Pearl]] income. On top of that, each of your {{path>S1}}'s has a random path (either {{path>A1}}, {{path>W1}}, {{path>E1}}, or {{path>N1}}); this is great when you can account for the mismatching, but it results in your mismatched Communion Slaves gaining a lot of [[Fatigue]] when non-Astral spells are used, typically off-script. |
| | |
| | Without Communions, your Panii can still cast wondrous buffs for your tougher troops (such as ??Haste??, ??Mass Regeneration??, ??Strength of Giants??, ??Legions of Steel??, ??Marble Warriors??, and ??Gaia's Blessing??), and strong offensive spells for harrying foes (such as ??Charm??, ??Wild Growth??, ??Poison Cloud??, and ??Polymorph??). |
| | |
| | If you need higher Earth, [[Empowerment]] is cheaper than summoning a ??Troll King's Court?? ({{gems>45E}} vs. {{gems>55E}}), but you might want to try that anyway since your Panii are slow to recruit. If you want reliable {{path>D1}} with a chance of {{path>D2}}, summon a ??Forest Troll Tribe?? for {{gems>37N}}; just don't count on getting that extra level of Death. |
