Also spells are great. Not just an ancient equivalent of artillery.

Fireball = Arcane Rocket
Magic missile = arcane rifle shot
Lightning Bolt = arcane AP round

Sure they have such stuff, but there are also thousands of spells to try out. Some are truly well thought:

*Rush of life : target either dies from heart attack or heals all the way and goes berserk due to sheer life force in him.

*Well of misery : win-win. Caster earns lots of magic gems and the world becomes a happier place.

*A nature spell I forgot its name: Send maggots to eat the dead flesh of the undead.

*An air spell : Send ravens to eat the unburied dead bodies.

Would you be surprised if I make a small map then imprison the enemy God to its keep then explore and develop just to try new spells? I made a map just to try out Lammashtas and Wish...
