If you're playing Tuatha I'd suggest:

3-5 Bards

2-3 Sidhe Lords (Or if you can afford it, Tuathas, or more)

A staff of storms (or if you can't forge one, someone who can cast "Storm")

Bards orders: Soothing Song x5, cast spells

Sidhe/Tuatha orders: Summon Storm Power, Eagle Eyes, Orb Lightning x3, cast spells


Position your Bards around the Sidhe Lords singing recovery songs (and usually will keep doing it unless they are near someone who is routing, then they will cast healing song or song of bravery.

If you have a storm going, you will usually get 3 Lightning Bolts per Sidhe Lord or 4 Lighning Bolts per Tuathat, per cast of Orb Lighting.


Or alternatively if you are feeling spicy. Give your Tuatha/Sidhe Lords a magic weapon (or two), have them cast Air Shield and Mistform and have them run in.

This is of course using a complement of Tower Guards in order to hold the backbone while you start.

The top strategy will let you decimate much of his force. If you find that you are positioning your Sidhe close to your enemy you can start with Air Shield to protect from Javelins.

*Edit: Just noticed you were far away from Orb Lighting (WHY?!) so you can use that with Thunder Strike (It's Evocation 4, not really all that far). Or alternatively use only Tuathas (unless you have a SoS) and chaincast Ghost Wolves and use recovery song with the Bards, they will churn out a good factory of them.
