Cross-Breading
What summons in the bunch are worth the gems for Gift of Reason? I haven't played with blood much so all of the units are pretty unfamilliar to me.

Re: Cross-Breading
None are worth GOR. Some are pretty nice, though, if you have high luck. The 'standard' ones are fodder, and you can pick out the good ones based on their size.

I agree. Btw...the luck scale affects this? I mean if you have high luck scale, you can get more/better units from cross breading? I never tested it myself.

Re: Cross-Breading
Luck scale does affect it as far as I know.

Re: Cross-Breading
Has anyone ever done well with an xbreeding strat? It seems like you wouldn't get enough good units for the cost. Why not just do fiends or devils?

Re: Cross-Breading
the province you are in also effects it. I think you get more spiders in swamps or what have you.

Crossbreeding
Slaves are so valuable, and crossbreeds so fragile, that I almost never crossbreed. However, they take no upkeep, so I occasionally crossbreed for patrollers. I rarely take Luck, though. Crossbreeding might work well for luck/turmoil Pangaea, since it can cast with native mages.

Re: Crossbreeding
I find them happy to get some unusual things to mix into an army. For times when my opponent has too much info on my armies makeup and might build one that is perfectly counter to it. I do the same with summon animals. Both give a variety that you can make use of if you properly assign them to the right units

Re: Crossbreeding
40 units is nice when you need to bulk out your army quickly, for 20 slaves is not a bad deal. Most blood units are hard to mass, and cost over 5 slaves per summon. 1/2 a slave per summon, and massing is worth it to me at the moment.
How are the crap units with buffs?
