Guide to playing Patala competitively

Well, I guess if you took the huge risk of being something like dom-6 and drain-1 then rushed conj 9 it would be +3 research.


Probably not a worthwhile strategy.

Sounds like nice flavor yet quite useless in practice. Nice touch on part of the Devs. I would have liked 2 see this idea developed more. Meaning having some high level summons, who can be viewed as lesser gods, that can exert global influence, like heat/cold, MR higer/lower etc.

I was thinking of the opposite use in the recent Man thread. High level summons that, to go with the LA Man Curse, shifted dominion towards drain, but were still good enough to use despite the drawback.

[Gregstrom]

Drain for LA Man is hardly a setback, surely?

[thejeff]

I said that badly.
It was intended for MA Man, based on the unexplained Curse that led to LA Man.

Something powerful enough to be tempting, but destructive to the Witches in long run.

Never really got anywhere with the idea and it can't be modded anyway.


We now return you to your regularly scheduled monkeys...

Well, a unit for Man that boosts Magic scale..... AND Death scale..... That might be able to be worked in with the curse somehow, in a thematic way that I don't understand, since Man is such a mystery. But basically looking at it as if you had used your points from Drain to get Growth, you could boost your researchers while only losing the Growth in 1 province.
