Re: TucoTuco
Have to agree to this. Wyrm can be incredible SC with no magic at all, but with high Dominion. This also leaves enough points for decent or even good scales). If you want magic, maybe you should sooner look for some of Titans, especially as Arcos have really good access to them. Another thing is that as you can see, Arcos have free scrying in own Dominion so it's worth it to raise this as high as possible - also speaks for Wyrm with no magic...
In the current game I think you should probably just forget about it unless your priestesses have nothing else to do and concentrate on mages. Elephantes could allow quick expansion against indies and can work well in coordination with mages/other troops against other nations. One trick which is highly recommended is to place a low-level Astral mage in the group of 2-4 Elephantes, then script Body Ethereal 3 times, while Elephantes "hold & attack". This gives you ethereal Elephantes, which aren't so easily swarmed, and your infantry moving behind them can mop up troops they displace. This doesn't make Elephantes braver or more resistant to magic, though... Maybe something else can be cooked up...
