Ok, since my previous posts were-atleast to some-potentially not terribly worthwhile, here's an easy and useful strategy for Kailasa Early Era. Note: this draws upon an earlier strategy posted in the original Tome and just specializes it for Kailasa.

Create a Pretender with Air 10 and Death 8 (Destroyer of Worlds is a good candidate, but you might want to go with something cheaper. He's worth it though, because you're going to want a strong capacity to fight hand-to-hand. If you feel you can get away with it, give him Fire 4 and it'll really help your melee forces, while at the same time allowing easy access to Flaming Arrows for maximum messiness.)

Yes, it's very expensive, (especially if you go with Fire 4 on top of it), but there's no real reason not to make your Pretender imprisoned. The Bless effect payoff of this is to make your sacred Yavanna troops completely immune to missles, while at the same time your own sacred Yavanna archers are dealing out +300% affliction arrows.

The enemies' archers can only hurt the enemy, and your own archers again can only hurt the enemy, effectively nullifying as much as a third of all Independent forces, and forcing human-run nations to cross a battlefield under fire and fight your melee forces either hand-to-hand or with spells, but not air spells, since your sacred Awe troops and summons are now 75% resistant to lightning-a fact your Air 10 Pretender should be able to exploit.
