Default Re: Old age and growth

Obviously Ulm does not fall under the guise of what I mentioned. Being able to pump out mages that aren't affected by drain makes it much easier to set it to -3, just like having Abysia unaffected by fire makes it a easy choice to set it to +3 heat.

Even with high research mages, I still think magic 1 is a must. I played Bogarus with drain 2, and it was a mistake. With magic 1 I would have been /much/ farther ahead on the research scales, especially in a game with difficult research. It also combines well with an awake pretender that can buff himself. Or to scramble up the construction tree to equip him, and then sell gears to others.
