Yes, the problem with the carrion dragon is that it is hard to get all points spent if you take N6 D5, wether awake or dormant. There always seems to be 2 points too little, or 27 points too many

As I recall there is one way to do it with an efficient use of points. Perhaps its N5D5..?

Sadly N5D5 is not enough to cast CW...

Opinions differ of course, but to me it is obvious Carrion Woods in Early Age is excellent at the start of the game, the sooner the better. When weapons of mass destruction appear and demons with fiery auras appear (fire is the doom of manikin), the days of manikin are over. Thus using Carrion Woods for EA Pangaea is in my opinion an either or choice: Either get it up on turn 10, or don't bother at all. EA Pangaea does not *need* Carrion Woods, but if you go for the option, go for it with full concentration.

LA Pangaea, and in some extent MA Pangaea, could well delay casting CW. The armies are smaller in LA (and even MA), so manikin can be used in smaller numbers to be effective (mixed with the higher prot troops available in MA and LA).

Absolutely...

its only 100 research. 7/14/21/28/35 = 5+1 = 6 turns to research it. Even with money problems you ought to be able to whip it out by turn 10 no problem.

Hmm... 10!=55*7= 385 - so even at con 4 its feasible.
55*8= 440..

Its even not that bad a path for pan with legions of steel, etc.

Hmm.

Crone Pretend 6n5d can be awake with ok scales.
Or dormant with great scales.

Pans with +3 Magic +3 Luck +3 Grwoth - will pop out 11 research a turn and easily make con-4 by pretender awakening.

11!>360 is only 8 turns.
