I think Caelum is overrated as 'the' most powerful nation. Caelum is
extremely strong in early-mid game. Unfortunately for them, unless they
are lucky with independants, there comes a point where wimpy air/water
mages just do not cut it, and there are only three airqueens... Caelum
has no monopoly on these, no matter what Saint Cohen wants you to believe.

A Caelum player has to expand agressively, and has to get rid of Pythium,
Vanheim, and C'tis. If he fails to do so, after turn 30, he will lose.
Given that Caelum is the Gamebreaker-du-jour, I expect to see it gather
the unhealthy attention that Ermor did when it was in the spotlight.

As for T'ien Ch'i, I agree they need something. I would suggest a half
way decent mage that can be recruited anywhere.
