Titan pretenders
I'm wondering about how people use Titans, and when people use Titans. What are some good Titan builds? What roles, strategies, and situations are Titans used to fill?
I've never used these guys myself. I look at them, but always seem to find something better suited for what I want to do. Their qualities, as far as I can tell, are the following:
1. strong base dominion (typically 3)
2. two magic paths (typically with 1 pick in each, or 2 in one and 1 in the other.)
3. expensive additional magic picks
4. all slots
5. SC worthy chassis, but requires some buffing/equipment
and occasionally some special abilities like increased fortune or growth or something in the province in which the titan is positioned.
These guys seem like basic all-rounders to me, with a little capability in any area. Most nations have enough choices of Titans that there is one for them with the magic paths they want; they can add a touch of diversity, or a little extra power in already possessed paths. There high base dominion is good for bless strategies, or strategies where you need your scales everywhere. Ones with base 2 picks in a magic path can probably stretch for a strong bless in that path without completely breaking the bank. They have HP's enough and the slots and magic to be SC's; even if not right out of the box.
But for this wide base capability, I can't ever seem to find these guys worth the opportunity cost of picking them over another pretender. OK now given, my experience in the game is limited, and it is most likely I simply havn't used one of these guys when I could/should have, or just don't know how to use them. Can someone give me good examples of when a Titan pretender should be used; especially in light of the fact that they must be picked over another pretender (ie. the opportunity cost). Are there some basic/popular titan builds out there that a person should be familiar with?
