MP: Collider - Small Late Age Game (running)

[AreaOfEffect]

Inquisitors:
Indy commanders are plentiful, cheap, and everywhere. This is most true in the late age. I never use mages for their leadership. It is certainly a useful trait at times, but your castle recruitment should never be controlled by the need to shuttle units around. Besides, more expendable commanders with your roaming armies allows you to be more resistant to assassinations. Sermon of courage can be useful, but Marignon already has a national troop advantage of above average moral. Moral 11 for gold 10 units is rather good. Also, their only magic is fire one. They are clearly not lending that much magical support. Certianly not flamming arrows.

Goetic Masters:
These guys are great. They are the backbone of your blood magic and supplies half of your battlefield magic options. I also agree that blood one mages are a pretty bad substitute when blood hunting. However, you can still do quite well with a handful. Several for blood hunting, several more casting ritual spells, and one with each large army for your flaming arrows. Though that is a spell you could save for only hard targets. If you've crushed the main opposition, your masters can just stay behind and blood hunt the newly conquered zone.

Royal Navigators:
The rest of the battle magic is better handled by the navigators. Once you realize that inquisitors are for dominion control you will have more opportunities for making these guys. Bring three of these to a battle, communion and lay out four thunder strikes in a row, or don't communion and cast lightning bolt 15 times. People tend to forget that Marignon can cast powerful lightning spells. They are also more mobile. One in three can cloud trapeze and all of them have sailing. Want to know what makes flaming arrows better when your front liners have no shields? Wind guide. In fact, I might suggest you go for wind guide before flaming arrows since your ranged attacks are already armor piercing.
