please don't take everything i say as law or anything i am still new to the game and just offerening my 2 cents discard whatever you disagree with

Well, when you have a research 4 Cyclops and indies 9 having him spent his first turns crafting some armor that you will latter on pass to another heros seems a decent idea

I will try to get thoses spells but they were out of my reach at start thus I got the "easiest" way. Also I like to play it roleplaying thus having Hephaistos crafting himself an armor sounds good.

Also if the effect is the same then perhaps I will favor having armor and 3 more scriptable spell slot... will need testing. Checking manual tell me that invulnerability make me Protection 30 and outrun the other two spells, so crafting armor and having 1 less spell to cast sound a better plan after all. But that's for my pretender, others mages will probably ressort to spells.

With lower indies I probably wont have cared as much about gear, but you know when you only got one eye you tend to became overcautious about it.

For the eye of aiming I will have to wait until I got a Air1 indi mage, wich I will need to chain research item too... so I guess I will just ressort to closing distance. Anyway I got the feeling that Wind Blade was sort of area spell thus good aiming wasn't as much important. As I plan to use my mages by 3 to 4 I guess I will always manage to hit someone.

The high level spells are thoses I want to go after but I lack the gems, I think after I got WindBlade I will try to go for the ritual first. Remember his name ?

Anyway thanks for the advices.
