Man thutha

[VALENT]

Somebody can help for the pretender,scales and magie for the Man with Tuatha.What kind of magie is the best for my pretender and what is the role of the cavalery Sidhe lord, tatha and daoine Sidhe, etc. All are blessed and what is the use of blessed cavalery in this gaME,
the troops are not as good as Ulm and the the cavalery commander is expensive. Is this cavalery important to recruit ?
please some helps.

this thread started some days ago there is some nice help for tuatha

i would try a strong pretender and weak scales.
luck 1-3 and magic 1-3 . i would prefer both set to 3 . sloth 3 death 3 cold 3 but order 3 i like quite much . as castle i always take watchtower .

so i have 500 points for pretender + dominion .
i even can reach some more points by taking lower luck / magic .
tuatha are strong in air + nature so i would take 2-4 other paths on my combat pretender and use him for combat + sitesearching .
this way you find very many sites .

the tuathas ( the 390 gold one ) are very good .
storm staff + wrathfull skies + e.g. many orb lightings.
or the in the other thread suggested bards with the reinvigaration song + some airmages constantly spamming the battlefield with false horrors and phantasmal warriors .
this is very powerful and with the reinvogaration from the bards you can cast it a long time .
i myself think a vq fits quite well for man Last of tuatha .

A bard or two also works very well with large quantities of Tuatha or Sidhe Lords spamming lightning bolts.

The Tuatha and Sidhe Lords should _not_ be looked at as cavalry commanders, Valent, but as very damn good mages with great combat ability.

Thinks to your answers.

.

would take 2-4 other paths on my combat pretender

You could also go for a decent blessing. Fire 9 works wonders, as your sidhe are now capable of hurting heavy armored opponents.

Water 9 is also a great but more expensive option as all your mages except the bard are sacred.

You could try to take both Water 9 and Fire 9 to make your normal sidhe infantry nearly invincible, but this will seriously hurt you economy, as you cant take drain scale.

I suggest you take a fire 9 moloch for the beginning

you have no astral gem income as man .
so you would need when converting gems 50 gems per accashic record .
+ since none of your national mages has it you need to take it on your pretender .
that's inefficient for man .
pythium / arco / ryhleh have astral gem income from the start and they have Astral 3 mages so for them it is easy but for man not .
