Re: Magic Questions
You need Air 3 and Con 4 to build the first air boosting items (Winged Helmet, Bag of Winds). The Tome of high Power is Air 2 but Con 8. Other possibilities : Staff of Elemental mastery (Earth 3 and Fire 3, Con 6; or Air 3 and Water 3, Con 6, there are two Versions) or ring of wizardy (Astral 5, Con 6).
I'd say the easiest way to get to Air 3 is empowerment, unless you have very high Con (in which case you should try to cast Forge of the Ancients, raise your Air to 2, and forge from there). The first mage to reach 3 can then forge Winged Helmets and Bags of Wind for the rest.
To reach Air 4 or 5, your best bet seems to empower to 3 and finish with items.
Regarding archers : targets are determined by squad, and being attacked in melee takes priority. So if one flyer attacks your 80 archers squad, all the squad will concentrate on that flyer and ignore any previous order.
