Tribal start with Anima Tree = OP

[Renzor]

So I've been googling and haven't seen too many conversations on this, but Anima Tree with a tribal start is really powerful. You can turn your entire colony into psycasters in a few days.

You set your whole colony to have scheduled time to meditate every day regardless if they are a psycaster yet or not. Doing this will cause the Anima Tree to churn out a ton of anima grass super fast. Every 18 anima grass you can turn someone into a psycaster and teach an ability.
Using the schedule, you can then give your entire tribe psycast ability pretty much immediately and way faster than any other method. (I guess it balances the slower tech rate disadvantage)

It also leaves me scratching my head as to what's the point of morbid and ascetic pscyasters. They can't learn new moves meditating at those things, and doing royal favors grants the royal type and psylinks for that pawn (so it's superior, though not as good as Tribal Anima Trees).



Am I missing something, or is Nature Psylink simply the best possible one?


And on that note, Stun ability is the best of all of them so far... Easy to use and spam and stops any damage coming in while giving me a chance to deal a lot of damage. It shouldn't be spammable on the same unit IMO (like it should resist on repeated casts)

I don't know man but a Tribal warrior charging at you with his Ax betty and with a psylink bullet shield, sounds pretty op to me.
In all seriousness I did this and won a fight against those tech boys, now my Tribal monkeys have big boom guns to hunt..life has never been better!

Morbid is probably only good if you plan to make a mass grave site

I think nature is probably the most op since you don't need to do anything but protect the holy tree from the STUPID FLASHSTORMS...I had to fight fires for 20mins to save my holy tree..

Morbid and Artistic are just ways to meditate that doesn't involve a throne or a hike to the anima tree. The travel time to / from the tree is always going to be somewhat significant since you can't build anything near the tree.

Since a royal psycaster usually is best off meditating on his throne regardless, it's really only for tribal psycasters who want a more convenient way to meditate.

Ya I get that, but what I'm saying is that you can teach your whole tribe psycasts super fast with the Anima tree, whereas the other routes are very slow/you literally can't learn anything
