Tuatha endgame

[lol76]

Lol I normally dont mess with the luck scale, ever since i went negative all the way on luck, and had my temple, my lab, and my castle die on turn 2,3,and 4 respectively. Soon followed up by getting all my troops cursed by a lot of pissed witches. its only happened once so far though.

That's usually good news. You get a handful of free gems out of it, in exchange for a few schmucks, who may or may not actually exist, being cursed. That's not a large price to pay for free loot.

Air and nature are great schools. Ideally I'd go for Air Queens (if they're still available) and/or Firbolgs. A bunch of firbolgs equipped with cheap items are almost as good as those bane lords. Give some air mages gems so that they can spam air elementals in battle. Lamia queens are great for upkeep-less researchers and also give access to sorcery magic. Spring Hawks aren't bad. Seeking Arrows can be useful. As can a staff of storms. You have some decent options depending on what you're fighting.

yeah depending on your gem income i would try to get at least one air queen first . they are excellent sc's too .
airqueen , storm + wrathful skies are nice against troopmasses .
if you are only a bit lucky with your lamia queen she gets d3 so you can summon your own bane lords cause i guess 10 deathgems for a bane lord are not a problem .
every 16th lamia queen is even d4 . so if you get such a lamiaqueen for only 10 d you can forge a +1 deathitem and then summon wrath lords .

i would try to use my airincome first to get 1-2 airqueens then for forging .
nature for lamias , forging and firbolgs .
every excess gems that you don't need for forging and are not nature or air you could convert to death and so either forge wraithswords and so on and or try to summon bane / wraith lords .

Castle dying because of bad luck? I've never heard of that, what do you mean exactly?

I recently got totally destroyed by Tuatha in a recent game. What the Tuatha player did was put 5-6 bards at the back of the map with 5-6 Air2 mages. Gave someone on the field of staff of storms, and the mages cranked out False Horrors at an alarming rate. The Bards did their reinvigoration song so the mages could cast forever. By the time my units approached the enemy, there were often 30+ False Horrors, with more showing up every turn. It was a total rout every time. Throw in a few Tuatha units to cover the mages/bards, and you are good-to-go and completely stealthy.

I recently had a fortified city created by a arndom event ( not even my nation type) so I imagine a random event can destroy em also
