Abysia would be pretty easy. I'd rush to lvl 8 alteration and cast disintegration and raise skeletons. I would also use other extra spells such as relief, reanimate archers.

If Abysia happenes to be focesing on daemon summons, I'll rush to lvl 9 conjuration, cast well of misery, and then cast ghost riders everywhere. Of corse, I could rush to lvl 9 conjuration if I started doing so on turn 1.

Hmm, C'tis troops are quite unbalanced. Some of them rock and some of them suck. Falchioneers, Elite warriors and those staff guys are powerful, and poison slingers sometimes. But their infantry is basically quite weak, but Sauromancers solve the problem. Just recruit 5-6 sauromancers and order them to raise dead 3 turns and then cast terror, this doesn't work against undead, but terror is very powerful against living beings.

I can never go a whole game without using light infantry. It really depends on what your strategy is. I couldn't love C'tis so much if they didn't have every unit they have now.

...except for Serpents and Serpent Dancers, right?

oh god do I love serpent dancers. I always want to like Poison slingers, but in practice they never seem to work out for me. Either they're too slow behind the advancing front, and then walk into their own clouds, or they rush into melee, or they break w/ no reason and scatter to four surrounding provinces.

Besides that they are so pricey and I'd rather save the money for some Sauromancers.

If anyone has any tips on how to make them more dependable, I would appreciate it.

As well, I've never used the runners (and don't like the slave warriors). They're obviously rear flankers, but they just seem too wimpy to accomplish much. Does anybody use them?

I'd also appreciate any tips/ideas on how best to use Sauromancers. They're great units, but I'm pretty inexperienced w/ properly using magic to its best effect. Do c'tis experts tend to use them as battlfield undead summoners, heavy artillery (love that shadow bLast), or something else?

I suppose undead summons w/ poison slingers and a non-serpent dancer strategy might be very effective.
