Getting EA Oceana out of the water...

Sorry for the late reply. My internet connection was down due to the damage to the trans-Pacific cables caused by the earthquake nr. Taiwan (most of Asia's connection to the US was impared).

Some of the "details" have already been mentioned by others. eg. build temples on all sea provinces so that land provinces come under your dominion. I shall add a few more:

1. Call Wraith Lord, which in turn generates ghosts. They compliment the Sea Trolls very well.
2. If in war raid coastal provinces with temples to destroy them.
3. Take coastal provinces with longbowmen or xbowmen and fortify them against all but large invading armies. Use the likes of murdering winter against large invading armies. Use these as your base for land conquest.

There are others but ultimately it depends on what your opponent is doing.

That's too bad. I know about the Leviathan, it's a good spell. The Behemoth one is also good, and although I love elephants (I actually collect elephant statues, if anyone's interested in a free glimpse into my deeper psyche), I'd be happy to see atleast a handful of the larger dinosaurs in the game.

Atleast one nation out there ought to have access to atleast one spell that summons up an undead dinosaur, don't you think?
