Indeed. Unless the army is composed of angels, or better yet, a vastness.

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?

My best air mage is 3A, which I am bootstrapping to 5A by items which I am building. All my best commanders already have flying boots, so that aspect has been taken care of (part of the reason why my armies are taking no or very few casualties).

I lack any W+E mages, which makes making the Jade Armor a bit hard to do. Do you have a suggestion for fixing this, besides spending gold to buy mages until I get lucky? (I am able to forge the alternative combo of Stymphalian Wings and Boots of Quickness, but it will take me a few turns to amass the gems.) Another problem is my anemic death gem income (which should be somewhat remedied in the next couple of turns by the orders I'd already issued for turn 41 prior to my recent hiatus from the forum).
