Default Re: Caelum questions, both themes.

If you are trying to use only Caelum troops then mid-late game will be bad for you. Learn to use the independents you can make. Add knights, barbarian chiefs, javelineers. Especially when you are outside the cold of your dominion.

SPeaking of which.. You have sneaky 3-lvl priests who can travel easily (flying). Learn to use them. Keep a ring of them hidden just outside the edges of your empire. PUSH the dominion.

Caelums advantage in mid-late game is having a great support/supply system. You can quickly reinforce troops, gems, magic items, slaves not to mention priests and mages.

The AI of Caelum is an irritant with its use of "Call of the Wind". You should be able to be a better, smarter irritant.
