cast, i generally make the same mistake

you can't generally go wrong buying as many principe as possible; in the early game at least. etherealize them, back them up w/ a few spamming mages, and enjoy the feeling of victory.

besides the fact that etherealising them means either they have a long march ahead or your mages are near the front

a long march isn't a problem. if you're against archers, you'll also want a couple sacrificial arrow catchers.

a long march is a problem if the enemy has a mage or 2 though

man, if you can't adapt to a mage or two and are playing pythium, I don't know what to say.

Didn't quite finish my turn last night (as I hoped). When I get home from work I'll finish it and submit it. So about 4 hours or less until then.

just saying that a long march being battered by mages who ignore your etherealness isnt good

ok, just to be clear - etherealness is not a universal panacea - but the discussion was about troops in the earlygame. rarely is one up against dangerous mages at that time. Personally, i'd probably just throw a few more arrow catchers into the fight even if I were facing some bonus mage...
