Turn 3 Orders:
Recruitment (at capital):
Storm General, Mammoth, 3 Wingless, and 4 Caelian Archers.
I was originally going to get another Seraph, but realized that I'm going to need another commander for the Mammoth force, and I can use this guy to also bring more Air Gems to the Seraph, and have her continue the Wind Guiding.
Move Urgek+Prophet army to the prov NE of the cap (which also has good income). Reported resistance: 20 (Archers/Militia)
Burelk moves to attack the Farmlands to the south.
New Seraph starts to help the research pile, while the Pretender also continues to research. I expect Evo2 in two turns.
I reduce taxes in both new provs to 60% to immediately quell the unrest there. It should work, as both unrests are ~11-12.
Ulm's starting army (plus a potential one turn recruitment) are north of the prophet's army (~20 Infantry of Ulm). Hoping they don't attack the prov I'm leaving. Their new prov has a magic site, which I hope to get from them, but not yet). I have 15G after recruitment, which I use to raise the PD of the prophet's prov to 5.
Luckily, I realized that I couldn't hop the Wingless to my proposed attack stop, so I defaulted back to my original plan, and have the foul spawn mercs and the prophet's army hit the province to the south. Urgek is my shock absorber (if he even saves two of my melee units, he'll have been a break even proposition).
Lastly, I'm moving the scout to Ulm's prov, to locate his capital. It appears from a rogue dominion plot that he has a minimum of Drain 1 and Misfortune 1 (and more likely higher in both). This might cause issues, but I am unconcerned as of right now.
I'm not using the Pretender to attack yet due to lack of a proper spell to cast. I may move her out to start attacking once I get Evo2 (due to getting both Lightning bolt and shock bLast). I also need to make her a Ring of Frost, to make her immune to my cold dominion.
Can't think of any other explanations needed. Questions welcome as always.
[Edit: Obscuro the Hidden Master was up for sale, but I don't think I need research badly enough to pay for him, and I certainly don't need an Air 2 mage, imo. ]
