How do I attack the water provinces? (and other q's)

>After seeing your suggestion, I see I should at least go a few levels in Conjuration. I assume I use all these gems to conjure creatures - which leads me to my question - what the heck do I do with all these gems? I've got hundreds... Do most players have a fleet of priests just out there conjuring up troops and items each turn?


Gems are used to:

-Conjure summons
-Make magic items (research Construction for items)
-Cast some battlefield spells
-Aid mages when casting battlefield spells
-Fire and Earth gems can be traded for gold

Yes players have mages out there doing research, and then using the gems to make stuff. Stuff is good.

In addition to Apoger's suggestions, there is also at least one mercenary group that is amphibian: Ship Wreckers. This is a great group for munching on most sea provinces. Composition of Y'gologna's merc's (the name of the Wrecker's leader) varies. In the early game it is usually trogs, and later on they may be shamblers, which are much better.


Cheers!

Quite right! The amphibian mercs are superb. Grab them if you can, it's a great way to get a foothold in the water. Once you have a water province you'll have some access to sea troops.

More good suggestions - thank you.

Okay I got the conjuring and creation of items down now. To cast battlefield spells - do you mean during battle? And isnt' all of that automatic? Maybe you mean something else...

>To cast battlefield spells - do you mean during battle?

Yes.


>And isnt' all of that automatic?

No.

You can allow the computer to choose for you, by not issuing orders, however you'll get much better results if you take control.

Some spells require a gem expenditure.
Furthermore gems can be used to increase the skill level of the casting mage.

Undead can be used to take water provinces too, as can constructs like Statues, Mechanical Men, etc.

Cast the Crossbreeding spell until you get enough amphibians!
