Well I believe Pan should't get Demon Knights ... I don't feel Pan using demons, but more xbreeding as before stated.

About using blood enhancing items for blood hunting, well I use them only when they're useless elsewhere.
I prefer +1 blood slave than +1 research point.
But usually they're assigned to forging or casting.

The chance is 10% + 40%*Blood. A blood 2 mage has a 90% chance, as does a blood 1 mage with a SDR.
ah thnx . btw the storm demon isn't such a great idea for vanheim at all or ? because he just adds to their strenghts ( already superpowerful airmages ) but does not cover their weaknesses .
against lighningresistant creatures / sc's storm demons are pretty useless or ?

You have a good chance with indie Wizards. The sorcery based ones can get 2B1E and the elemantal ones 2E1B, easy to go from there with boosters.

Storm Demons work well for Vanheim because they are immune to lightning and can fly in storms, which means that Vanheim can nuke the crap out of its enemies without worrying about also nuking the storm demons.

It is 1/32. Both earth+blood and blood+earth will do.

if you are 100% lighning resistant too can a storm demon than hurt you or not ? i didn't use storm demons much so far since i don't like vanheim too much all in all and for other nations it is not easy to get .
his weapons are thunder fist / lightning according to the excel graph from zen .
so does he inflict damage in meelee with his thunder fist if you are 100% lighning immune or can it harm you no more then ?
how is this with similiar units like spring hawks ?

thnx in advance

Unfortunately, there is a bit of a lack lack of both a blood/earth nation and an astral/earth nation amongst the various themes.
Graeme, Golden Arge Arcoscephale has an absolutely amazing flying trampling pretender in the Shedu and are an astral/earth nation.

Do you have a point to make, or are you just trying to blind us with your avatar?

I'm happy the avatar annoys you. It wasn't my intent, but merely a pleasant side effect. I merely found it surprising that you didn't find Golden Era Arco to be a strong enough astral/earth nation, given your vigorous support of the theme in the past.

The good thing is that you can block images by server. So you don't have to deal with the innane, "annoying as I can be" avatars.
