Guide: Bandar Log - you whipped me with what?!?

[AreaOfEffect]

I don't think anyone has yet criticized Bandar Log's magic power from their regular commanders. The chassis itself for the guru is the only thing I've noticed anyone having a problem with. Admittedly, 2 AP is rather slow, even for a guy with his legs crossed.

Astral and nature are both very strong paths. However, I think that Bandar Log lacks a great deal of magic diversity outside of their summons. Magic diversity is in my opinion the true hallmark of magical power. Outside of astral and nature Bandar Log can, at best, get 2 water, 2 earth, or 1 earth and 1 water. But don't hold your breath as that all involves a 10% random. Most likely you'll get only 1 water or 1 earth half of the time. What is worse is that it can only occur your capital only mage. Even getting 2 nature is limited to only the Rishi.

With such limitations on magic diversity and the availability of your powerful caster, the fact that BL is an astral and nature faction is very much mitigated. It is most likely why Baalz came to the conclusion that using their summons wasn't just good, but necessary.
