Alexander's Ever-Expanding Tome of Knowledge, pt 2

[HoneyBadger]

Niefelheim doesn't really need that much better research, though. I mean, 5 Niefel Jarls with really good spells and 35 gygjas aren't going to do a lot better than 40 Niefel Jarls with mediochre spells.

No, but 20 Jarls out fighting and 20 Gygjas back home researching will do better than 20 Jarls out fighting and 20 Jarls at home researching. Especially since the savings on the Gygjas will let you buy more sacred Neifel giants to go fight with the Jarls.

The better research will let also let you equip the Jarls sooner, raising both their effectiveness and survival rate.

Gygja also have different paths and can thus you summon, forge and site search more than with just Jarls.

Don't worry, honey badger is in a Jarl-Rage state.

[Graeme Dice]

This is why you build a second castle and lab early on in the game, so that you can avoid wasting your commander slot in your capital province on things other than Niefel Jarls, while still building researchers.

EA Atlantis should do the same thing to get as many Basalt Kings as possible.

[HoneyBadger]

I'm not in a jarl-rage state.

When I go into a jarl-rage state, I turn blue and grow to 30 feet tall. I start singing, drinking mead, and killing things with battle-axes and giant swords. You don't want me to go into a jarl-rage state.

You...wouldn't like me...when I'm in a jarl-rage state.

I'm just going to keep on bumping this until someone stickies it.
