Possible bug i think.

the troll ambassador: besides being really annoyingly having only misc slots despite his humanoid appearence, he has no magic, yet when you choose his actions you can click "forge magic item" or "cast ritual spell" but of course there are no options, just the screen. he can also be told to "cast" maybe its just a copystats quirk, but i thought i'd report it.

Edit: also, i guess the only applicable use he has that he shouldn't is that he can alchemy without magic.

oh and he can't research

Edit again: after having a little modding explained to me, i'm guessing the magic path thing is to allow him to lead troops underwater but he's not supposed to be a mage, but he can be empowered straight to level 2 water for 30 gems. (would this only give him W1?)

Intentional to prevent using her as a Thug chassis (She needs to be tough however, since assasinating her will bring death to all troops following her). Hopefully I remembered to explain the "in-game" reason for her lack of slots in the description?
(I'm 100% sure if I remembered to do that in my last update)

Yeah, there isn't much I can do about that. She's copystatting Lord of the Seas for the "bring troops UW- ability", which gives her his magic too.

Yeah, empowering her will just give W1. She's currently W1 base, but also has -1 water magic (the same way like land capricorns get magic penalties).

Can't you clearmagic after copystats?

Damn daylight savings, or rather lack of that. I intended to take my turn this morning while eating breakfast, but forgot that I am currently at GMT+2 rather than GMT+3 like still a bit over a week ago. Which resulted in my first ever stale in a Dom3 game

To make matters worse, Lanka had an excellent turn, which saw my Marverni totally overrun; I wouldn't have been able to do much to reverse that even if I had been able to take my turn. Now I don't have enough gold to pay my forces, and my forts are under siege. My preteder is still (barely) alive, but has so far taken quite a few hits from remote spells. While my druids cause massive havoc with reverse communion, they really are no use without troops to protect them. I really do not see how I could possibly make a come-back from this, even if Lanka was attacked by all her other neighbours.

To preserve my sanity, I think I will go AI

Cheers for Lanka for a well executed attack! Thanks Burnsaber to setting up this game, I am sure interested in joing a similar game in the future too

You have multiple forts still in your possession, a live pretender, a bunch of mages, and you're going AI?

I have forts yes, but almsot all are besieged. I have mages true, but no troops to protect them (and you know Marverni druids need a meat shield as they are ultra-fragile) as the troops will desert now (no money to pay for upkeep). I have a live pretender, true who has has been hit by quite a few seeking arrows (and while he has recuperation and will eventually get rid of his afflictions, he is of absolutely no use now).

I am sorry, but the Marverni situation is totally hopeless as far as I can see.
