I simply don't see myself using, or hear of most others using, their cheap mages early in a combat role, or _any_ role other than researcher, bloodhunter, or (occasionally) cheap-item forger.

How about body etherial with Pythium's Theurg Acolytes? Pretty decent at the start of the game. You do pay with reduced research though.

Okay, you're confusing me again... are you talking about Nether Darts (Evocation-7), or Nether Bolt (Evocation-4)?

Well you use one, then when you get the tech you use the other =)

Doesn't the feeblemind effect hurt normal troops at all, or is it just commanders?

Hurts everyone

And I imagine it does provide good spell backup, but I'd be seriously worried that something would take out your Seithkonur before they can start volleying. I assume you carry a SoS for that, but even so, how many rounds before you start 'firing'? Do you buff with protection spells first, or trust to no one getting to the Seithkonur?

Latergame I usually have a SOS with me (pretender forged). I usually give the seithkona 5 skeleton guards each, with just group protection cast on the lot of em.

No wonder you had bad experiences with her. That should be 5-10 kills a turn after you've researched a couple levels in Alteration and Evocation.

If you want to get to Thunder Strike, sure she'll kill more people. That's Evocation-4, though, and as I said, we're talking about the first 5 turns.

Though, if you can tell me how to get to Evocation-4 by turn 5, I'm all ears.

At the time you posted this I think it should have been clear to everyone that the Virtue's main damage dealer is S-H-O-C-K-W-A-V-E.

Although a bit of Alteration research helps too. Mainly for Mirror Image if you have air 5+, or Mistform if you haven't.
