Are there any winning strategies anyone might want to share for Tuatha. (Yes, I "search"ed already - there wasn't much).

Even tough I have the most gem income I find that magic has been largely irrelevant sofar (midgame). Maybe I should have invested more in researchers than archers.

Well I'm hardly an expert, but Man has some great artillery-type battlefield spells: Sleep Cloud, Poison Cloud, Orb Lightning, Thunder Strike. A bunch of Longbows behind a decent shield of infantry and a few mages casting such evocations should quickly demoralise most armies. Ulm should go down quickly to the above spells, Caelum is something else with their fliers, but C'Tis should be vulnerable to some of the above too.

Best of all, if you have Wind Guide (Alt. 4) both your archers' precision will be increased, and your mages', meaning for accurate orb lightnings (which is very important)

Also Nature has lots of summons which you could use all those extra gems for. Try Pride of Lions for a great flanking force - summoned 12 at a time.

edit: most of my playing Man is standard theme, so it'll be a little different (but not too much).
