Ligeia

Build Application

Ligeia's effect — siege units train in 20% less time — is the kind of bonus that rewards players who plan their build order around a single throughput vector rather than spreading attention thin.

Pair this advisor with a strong economic civilization so the bonus throughput isn't bottlenecked by resource shortages or population cap pressure.

Treat Ligeia as a build-defining choice rather than a flex pick — that's where the advisor delivers its full value.
