Yea, but even those r only 10 or so protection. Playing Dom2 demo 9/10 battles I was only taking 0 - 10 or so losses, even battles I lost I was inflicting 3 times losses on the enemy. Dom 3 early age, taking 4 times the losses, also even with a priest to bolster morale, its a toss of the coin who runs 1st. The low protection is the reason why, any nations who can get high protection on there troops has a significant advantage early on.

Probably just need time to adjust.

BTW, Barathrus pact is also a great spell. It summons an Earth Elemental that stays on the strategic map.

I can also imagine that the Army of Gold/Lead spells would be very useful for Agartha.

I need a secretary to note down all those useful gems of info.

I think that shooting for Conj 3 ASAP is a good plan as Agartha. 5 Magma Children for 2 gems (!!!) is nothing to scoff at and the Earth Elementals are great arrow pincushions and tramplers.

The Magma Children are really, really easy to mass since every four of the Earth Readers can cast it. They work well in synerge with for example a Red Dragon pretender. The MG's are kind of vulnerable to ranged attacks, especially javelins, but their attack does nasty damage on ordinary, and even a bit more extraordinary units.

I like them tbh. However, I can't wait to play LE Agartha. That will be the real deal.
