ive got kings, though all the nations im facing are rather firey (even caelum has fire...) so the usually great flamestrike is almost useless

You can always give them a weapon Any weapon boosts defense over the flamestrike.

Are you asking in terms of gems or that involve the paths?

[shovah]

i am using cb and path/gems would do (but my main gem mincome is fire so...)

Use the fire gems for Flames from the Sky. Fire is not a strong conjuration path.

Earth, on the other hand, is excellent... Clockworks, Statues, and Mechanical Men are all good, while Crushers and Iron Dragons are sometimes worth Gift of Reason.

thx, my main problem is just getting some living, non unique SC's since uniques are quickly taken and undead have alot of counters. i have good income of: blood, fire and death. decent income of: earth and possibly nature/astral but im not sure. poor income of: possibly astral/nature. finally i have practically non-existant income of water.
the high cost of getting troll kings due to the troolls that come with them makes getting more than 1 quite hard and for other things im low on nature for GoR. Golems seem promising though as i have a mage or 2 perfect for making them and can alchemise anything to get them quite quickly.

If you have sufficient blood income, consider using the devil commander from the hordes from hell spell. It's expensive, but he has very good stats.

same problem as undead, devils count as demons iirc and alot of undead killers work on them too (such as a strong commander with a flambeau
