MA Man Advice Needed: Proper Use of Units

[LDiCesare]

You can always get fire/death gems by using the so expensive acashic record. Better to target mountain regions which have either not been searched or have been but hold 0-1 or at most 2 sites.
Against Arco, you should beware in case the ai suddenly decides to send in elephants. My son experienced the fact that elephants tend to squish whatever front line you put between them and the archers, and it can be nasty if they reach the longbowmen.

Acashic Record as Man? You can get only one astral mage and it is a hero.

He said he had a S4 pretender, so she can cast it.

Note, that there is no need to put all Longbowman into one squad. Longbowman are very good at shooting enemy archers, however, once the enemy archers are servely reduced, and the melee enemies are close, you will not want every archer to shoot the last ranged opponents (untill they rout).

Splitting your archers into a "fire archers" and a "fire closest" squad can work out well.

I hadn't thought of using the longbowmen on two different targets. That's a good idea.

At the moment I've been organizing my armies into a squad to defend the commander, an infantry screen squad, a knight squad and the longbowmen squad. I might make commanders more specialized to give more flexibility on deployment.

How is the ring of wizardry made?

I can't seem to make it with any of my crones or even pretender, unless I'm missing something.

Oh ok. I'm just astral 5 at the moment. Thanks.
