Hey thanks, all helpful stuff here.

Im still trying to get Poison Slingers to work with an undead fodder screen. Having minor amounts of success.

I wish there were an Air buff spell which increases the range of missile troops (alteration).

Further follow-up questions:

1. Any tips on getting Empoisoners to successfully assassinate (primarily: early game; NOT with super-duper gear)?

2. Any tips on offensive spells, and who to use them with? I love Sauromancers, but dont get much use out of the others.

3. Holy vs Unholy: Does it matter who blesses whom? It seems there are some nice choices of sacred units here -- are there also unholy troops I havent found yet?

4. Scales and Blessings: Does anyone think it is unwise to go for at least astral 4? I like the magic resistance, what do you say?
