[Norfleet]

You've mentioned that you feel stretched a little thin. Perhaps, in order to avoid the feeling of biting off more than you can chew with both hands, you should seriously consider your rapid response capability. While your armies appear to be meeting with victory, armies are not terribly mobile.

Looking over your research situation, I see you can build any item you want, if you can scrounge the forgers, and your gem economy is reasonably healthy.

Do you have any Air mages of any level, and perhaps a Water+Earth mage? A Bane Lord equipped with a Wraith Sword, flying boots, and Jade Armor will give you that rapid response ***-kicking you need, at a bargain price, that can be upgraded for better asswhooping through the use of a lucky pendant and/or Wraith Crown. Perhaps you should get one today?
