EA Vanheim build order and long term strat

[thejeff]

Yeah, they're not a long term strategy, but if const is one of your early research goals anyway (to thug out your Drotts & Jarls), a few early on can give you a nice research boost.
And the critical uses for Air gems don't come along until you're a bit farther in research anyway.

Sure, Indy shamans can get you 3-4 rp for 100 gold each, +500 or 900 gold upfront and early on, you're more likely to be gold limited than gem limited.
