While the creatures are generally humans and kor, they are all about being soldiers. Because of that, there was call to include a fair amount of equipment, as Kor Outfitter speeds up the application of that to creatures. Other things have since come along that would enhance the concept, of course, but they just were not around for this one. The 19/13/6/1/0/1 curve comes in at a ridiculously low 1.83 average cost, allowing me not only to keep casting things regularly, but also to pay the equip costsas the game progressed.
