Turn 7

I reasearched Const2 and Conj1. Man declared a knight as his prophet.

Atlanasha managed to summon 4 Formless Spawns.Their moral of 50, decent HPs and regen will surely help my attack vs C’tis. The 50% fire resistance might come in handy vs Abysia, too.

The battle in was won without losing a single trooper. MindbLasts were doing their job very nicely again and the 40 enmies routed after the first turn of close combat.

My mercs are gone now and I have to rely on my own troops again, but with my decent summons I think this will not be too bad.

Provinces: 4
Treasury: 206
Income: 305
Upkeep: 99
Resources: 72

Water gems: 14 (+2)
Astral gems: 18 (+3)

Due to the fighting the unrest in Gol Phalas (26) went up to 18, dominion is still at -1, I will lower the tax to 60%.
Talitos (36) unrest is at 12, the dominion is -2, I will lower taxes to 70%.

Abysia is reported at 50 enemy troops now and I am glad that I didn’t attack.

The scout I sent to Dershid (20) reports 50 Tribal warriors and archers, but due to decent arrow fodder (lobo guards/slave troopers) and soakers (Things from the Void/Formless Spawns) I am not too worried about them.

I sent my other scout to Gol Phalas for some bloodhunting there, but due to the unrest I will wait another turn.

Azay - my new mage is 2F, 1W, 3As with a leadership of 20. I assign my 6 Illithid Soldiers into one squad and the 3 lobo guards, 3 Things from the Void and 4 Formless Spawns into a second one with hold/attack closest orders. Azay will cast quickness and 4x mind burn and is put to the back together with the mindbLaster squad.

I will send both of my armies to Dershid (20) and hope that I might be able to catch C’tis off guard and attack the capital on the next turn.

With construction at 2 I assign my mages to continue to research in Conjuration and will get to Conj2 on this turn.

I was thinking about starting to build a Clam of Pearl, but I refrain from using either one of my best researchers for this task (11/13 RPs). I will rather wait till I get to Conj5 in order to cast acashic record in order to find gems than forging Clams at the moment. The Sea King’s Court summon at Conj6 is very tempting, too.

I will only recruit a star child this turn in order to save up some money in order to buy a starspawn mage next since I would not be able to get reinforcements to the fight vs C’tis fast enough anyway. If I run into serious trouble I have to completely regroup my forces.
