they eat population?

[hunt11]

any time you have more then 3 of them in a province, your population will decline, even in a growth 3 province

Yup.

I even got an event where a Melqart ate one of my Raephalites (your 125 gold Holy troops.) I thought dragons were bad when they ate blood slaves. Sheesh!

[Xanatos]

not seen that yet, did you take unlucky?

Yeh. They have fortune tellers and province defense that can withstand barbarians, so it seemed like a no brainer.

Has anyone figured out what this means? Don't spoil the surprise, but maybe someone could hint what scales I should be taking and whether "best" means "good" or "bad"? (I.e. best for the player or for the sadistic designers?) Someone did mention earlier that Azazel [rot13] fgvyy yvxrf gb cynl nebhaq jvgu zbegnyf, v.r. bppnfvbanyyl fverf n Arcuvyvz fcbagnarbhfyl.

Yup. They eat pop. Somebody else noted that it seemed to be about 30/turn. All the Hinnom Rephaim -- the units and commanders -- do. Might want to put points instead into Growth and Order, at least if it's not a small blitz map.

Their appetites are more mild in Ashdod -- slightly more than their size suggests, but not pop-slaughtering, it seems.

Yeah, it makes it really annoying to take on LA Ermor because each warrior takes 9 supply. I've pretty much given up on keeping them supplied in my current game. My guys have an N6 bless so I'm just using indy priests and a shield wall of blessed Ahiman Anakites who are starving and disease-ridden (but still have good morale anyway after blessing, and regenerate so they still heal during battles).
