The odds are painfully slim, but I can get a D5 Sauromancer.
Give them a skull staff and a whatchamacallit skull helmet (someone locked my manual away), and I've got a D7 Sauromancer. If I get even further lucky with twice born, then I'd get a D8 mage. Give them a Sceptre of Dark Regency, and I've got an undead mage with 10 death.

Needless to say, that's so rare I can't base a strategy on it. Besides, what in the world would I do with 10 death magic anyways? Well, I guess I would see how large Shadow Blast's AOE gets.

"The nation of Ctis is suffering a bout of cold weather. This has started a massive migration towards the warmest lands we can find."

Of all my scales, the only one that hasn't seemed to taken root anywhere is my heat. Conveniently enough, I started next to another warm nation who I can attack without worrying about winter rendering my troops impotent. (Coldblooded +1 fatigue in 0, +4 in in cold scale).

I just received a hero as well. She has seven points worth of magic, but they're scattered around somewhat inefficiently. She's powerful enough, but I can get D4 easily, can summon an N3S3 mage (eventually). She will become obsolete, but since I'm a long way from Couatl, she'll be quite nice, for research and forging, if noting else. I may be able to find some particular applications for her if I think about it, but her use isn't immediately obvious.

I really should update my AAR again. Its been over a dozen turns since I last put in an entry, and with the start of my invasion of Abysia, I'll have a lot to write about.
