Re: MA Eriu
Sidhe Lords are great yes, and the Golden Lance is nice. But it's not as good as it sounds. It's mainly good for locking down thugs, though I'm not entirely sure whether or not it's MR negates. For thugging as opposed to anti-thugging, it locks down a single square of enemies until they die. That takes quite a while since its damage isn't spectacular and the hoof attack is worthless. (Shouldn't they get the warhoof? Surely Fay horses are as strong as warhorses...) All the while, the rest of the enemies will be wacking away. Against stronger PD or semi-serious armies, a vineshield+brand+reinvig if bless isn't E9/10 is still necessary. Regarding the fire bless, I think it helps with repelling. The Golden Lance is length 4, so it should repel anything with enough damage to hit through mistform. In theory at least, though I'm not sure how repel interacts with the length zero hoof attack. I've never noticed repelling doing wonders, so maybe it doesn't work at all, or maybe I should have cast Dark Skies so morale is low enough for it to work.
As for the spells, I can't quite figure out how to use the Enchantment 8 mist spell, the one that blinks everybody, mists, and summons chaff. The problem is Eriu thugs want a great deal of buffing, so you don't want to blink them turn 1 potentially into danger. On the other hand, you want the mists up and chaff spawning soonest so they can buff uninterrupted while the enemy deals with the chaff hopefully inflicting tons of friendly fire. So I end up sticking with the Enchantment 5 version. It would be awesome if mass blink were available as a separate spell.
