See my Pangaea thread. The Gorgon does not need 10 dominion.
She does need air magic to avoid crossbows and for mistform mirror image. I start sleeping gorgon, 5e, 4n, 3a, 6 dominion, with 3 order, 2 prod, 1 growth, 2 heat. That makes for a very strong economy. Gorgon is a super combatant of top rank, but the 30 hps make her, more than other scs, one that you use only inside your own dominion. She flies and can put out fires within Pangaea's own dominion.

She does bring air to the table, and if you get a centaur commander that has a good hall of fame ability, can make him a shield that stops arrow damage, that combined with regen ring can make the centaur a minor sc in his own right.

But I advance and siege castles with my armies, not my Gorgon. I have lost her in enemy domain several times, and I now am patient and advance with armies and use her to control my domain and search for air sites.

Im curious. Why take earth 5 and air 3? (or any 5 and 3). Sometimes I really need a 5 and for some rare reason I dont want to just make an item (in this case earth boots) or empowerment. I should look but does the Gorgon not wear boots? For a bless strategy, kicking a 3 up to a 4 to get another effect seems a hard to avoid temptation.

for about 50 points more you can drop the air3 and boost the earth up to 9. That provides more than adequate missile protection(18 prot unequipped and dosnt require buffs) and in most cases melee protection due to petrification and also gives you a nice bless for your centaurs.
