Default Re: Caelum MA - subing at turn 35 - advice wanted

I must warn you that I have never won a MP with Caelum, so take what I say with a pile of salt.

Mammoths will start failing mid to late-mid game. your opponets will hit them with fear causing spells or other nasty stuff. Eventually it will be much better to spend your gold on mages than mammoths. I hope you have already started to switch over your armies.

Spamming thunderstrike is fun, can be done even with the air 2 guys after casting summon storm power. It is sooo worth it to forge a few staffs of storms for this. this is obvious advise, sorry.

If you got enough mages set a few to cast Living Winds (or is it Living Air?) Air elemetals are suprsingly effective in groups.

You simply MUST control the elemental queens of Air. If you don't have them kill them and summon.

Spring Hawks can be useful even late game. Use them to harass spellcasters and commanders.

The best part is that you are super mobile. You can send Eagle king strike forces anywhere on the map with cloud trapese. You can send much larger strike forces of flyers several spaces behind enemy lines,Strik forces made of spring hawks and air elementals summoned from the Air Queens backed up with a ton of mages.

Last but not least, anything becomes a threat after being buffed with fend arrows and mass mist form. These two spells turn armies of chaff into deadly weapons.
