I have never won a sp game...

ok, the lamia strategy rocks, i just tried it woth a naga pretender with 10 nature and nothing else and won really fast. do a rich world with easy research and indy str 9 with carrion woods pangea ( 10 nature a turn )

then make mages and only mages, no troops and with those mages summon carrion lords and with all these rush for alteration 5 for mother oak.

then rush all your researchers for lamias (conjuration) and as soon as you can get them crank them out ( if your low on money then A:do alchemy or B:use carrion lords reanimate and send 1 out to conquer ) your 10 nature naga will get 13, yes 13! lamias a turn.

load the naga up full of lamias then rush for the enemy who in my game only had 4 provinces when i got their. when i had finished them off ( around 7 turns later ) i had fairy trod ready and teleported into my other enemy and crushed them.

all the while i was making more lamias and at the end of the game i was about to get tarrasques. overall if you wana crush enemys quick try this but money can be a problem and ofcourse you could research lamias b4 mother oak but thats just personal preference.

incase you were wondering i was playing on urgaia vrs machaka and mictain

Yeah right - and now try it with a poor or normal world and difficult or very difficult research .... there's not a lot of point playing SP if you're going to make it so easy.

That general strategy might work. You just have to come up with a way to start conquering provinces before you get to Conjuration 7 and Lamias. I think Carrion Woods can conquer provinces even without a combat pretender, especially with high-level nature blessing. You took expensive magic, and received a good blessing, so you could as well use it! (before the population of your capital withers away and you cannot recruit any more living units)

You might also want to use more cheaper mages instead of fewer good ones for research, as magic scale gives more benefit to more mages. You should also search all your conquered provinces for nature sites, to get more gems and researchers.

i did conquer a bit with my carrion elephants but most of my focus was on the lamias, and the good thing about the carrion lords is they are nature 3 and can help with lamias (thought they were conjuration 6 though)

Might well be. I haven't used them in a long time. I might have to try, though... That did sound like an interesting strategy.
