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.

Luck scale does affect it as far as I know.

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?

the province you are in also effects it. I think you get more spiders in swamps or what have you.

Default 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.

Yeah I made a search on the forum, and I figured it out also. I think xbreeding can be a good strat with a high luck scale, but I never tried it yet.

I'll try it out in an sp game with turmoil and luck scales. I may use Pan, although I wonder how many of the expensive non sacred mages I can afford with those scales. Mictlan might be a better choice.

I don't think I ever managed to cross-breed a baguette.
