As to the AQs, youre asking just the wrong guy: I think their average lifespan when summoned by me is still around 3 turns. Man, I went through them quicker than shirts in Clash! That said, one way to field them is to give her a staff of storms, a couple of air boosters, quickness armor and set to cast summon storm power, wrathful, living clouds, living clouds, living clouds, spells. Very costly gem-wise, but can take down various enemy set-ups. Easyish to counter too, but if you incorporate another AQ with SC gear (the same stuff you put on a Bane Lord) to the team it gains a lot of versatility.

@jeffr: I guess the Moloch didn't have a target within range for Immolation. Doesn't it require enemies within 7 squares of the caster? Hence the way to use it, I guess, could be buff, attack a turn, immolation.

The elementals are summoned by Aella, the third AQ. Whilst hiding from CUnknown they had some free time...

I did my best to incite your neighbors to attack you, too, to keep you out of my hair while I collected the stuff I needed to crack your impregnable white centaurs. Guess we don't know yet if it was enough, but we soon will! Expect some crazy [censored] in Feldan Forest come next turn... (A bold move, that!)

"I guess the Moloch didn't have a target within range for Immolation"

But immolation is cast on the caster. It has an AOE of 7, sort of like an enhanced fire shield I thought. I've seen it work before. Here is the description:

"The caster bursts into white-hot flames, badly burning everyone within range. Armor offers little protection against the flames. The spell will consume the caster if he is unprotected."

So you were behind the attacks eh? I wasn't surprised about Arco, but I was surprised Pythium attacked me. I can't really remember, but I think I wouild have (eventually) attacked you instead of them, because you were closer. So, good job there.

"but we soon will! Expect some crazy [censored] in Feldan Forest come next turn"

Oh, great, can't wait I figured, what the hell, might as well go down in "charge of the light brigade" fashion rather than cowering behind my walls. Time is not on my side.

Well, not Arco (didn't need to ) but I did try my hardest with Pythium and Man (only he disappeared just then). Only Azhur knows what it amounted to, though...

If there aren't any enemies within 7 squares of the caster, the tac AI won't use immolation - and a good thing too, since it's a one-time effect, unlike fire shield. So it's more like an even shorter range flame eruption. (Thus the proposed script to get the caster mixed with the enemy!)

True, you don't have much of a choice far as the attack goes... It's surprisingly effective, your army. Hell, it's better than CUnknown's Bane Lord -filled armies for this purpose, blitzing to my castle and storming it. I don't even know if my counter-plan will work! This is interesting, indeed!

What happened? It looks like you won the battle, Jeffr. Did you kill any AQ's? How are your forces looking?
