I suck with Pythium ... please help!

First ulmish archers , sappers and arlabests can be easy damaged by bladewind .

I don't want to be a wet blanket, but if your sappers, archers and artlabests are in the way of a blade wind, you are probably losing for reasons that have nothing to do with fatigue. Even with crazy placement of mages vs troops and fighting flying units that attack archers, blade wind becomes very, very accurate when it's close.

So very nice , even investing 10 earthgems in earthboots you probably still lose .

It's actually 5 gems, you don't start forging Earth Boots without using a Smith + Hammer except for your first pair.
