Is Cyclops worth it as a pretender god?

[Saber Cherry]

I imagine that the AI was stupid and took a death scale with Jotunheim (reducing supply). Regardless, Jotuns prefer Cold 2, and fighting in Heat 2 would reduce their supply by 40% (I think)...

I always have supply problems when playing Jotunheim, they use 3 each. And the AI is not nearly as good as a human at avoiding supply problems... and if a units starves 2 turns in a row, it gets diseased. So I assume the diseases came from the AI keeping its armies in low-supply provinces rather than from the Machaka militia. I find it is a very good idea to put high defense in a low-supply province - then the enemy has to commit a large force to take it, and they starve. Well, unless they have a Cyclops or Blade Wind (or both)=)
