Ashen empire or soul gate cannot recruit normal units from their capital. Instead, they must base their expansion on undead. You get free undead units every turn. For mages you start with some good ritual summoning spells no-one else has, try taking high death magic on your pretender and casting "dusk elder".

Hello, I'd just like to point out that there is a French forum at

1. Make sure there's at least Death-3 on your pretender if you're playing Ashen Empire; probably Death-5 for Soul Gate.
2. Select him.
3. Check the list of spells he can cast. These will include spells for summoning mages (Spectators, Dusk Elders) and priests (for Ashen Empire -- Archbishops, Bishops, Acolytes; for Soul Gate, Wraith Consuls, Shadow Tribunes etc).
A Dusk Elder, for instance, is a death-3/random-1 mage. An Archbishop is an Unholy-4 priest. Both cost a lot of death gems so you won't be summoning them very quickly in the beginning.

thinks to taqwus, some questionmore please:
"Make sure there's at least Death-3 on your pretender if you're playing Ashen Empire; probably Death-5 for Soul Gate" where i found this ? on the pretender where i begin the game?


" Check the list of spells he can cast" how? right click? i don't see any spells. i research many spells in laboratory, but i don't see any in my pretender.
if you can help me, please.
