C'tis strategy

Very interesing and quite convincing! What do you mean by

? Is it worth recruiting sages, which will quickly become diseased and die? I thought Ctis Miasma cannot depend on independents?

I meant shamans - you can recruit them at any castle of yours. I believe it is
not worth recruiting sages for research. They cost 80 gold for 11 research,
as opposed to shamans' 110 for 7, but the upkeep for a point of research
is about the same, and when you take into account that sages get diseased, it
is not worth it.

If I had a Gift of Health up, and did not expect to lose it anytime soon (big if)
I would still not purchase sages, unless I badly needed a specific random.
For example, if I was fighting Caelum, did not have enough air mages to crank
out rings of lightning, and could not afford to buy marshmasters in mass,
I might purchase sages, and hope for an air random.
