Hey, that's not fair! The core of my suggestion was bless + chill aura + some evocation, which would then give you the leisure to experiment with Niefel Jarl SCs and dabble in blood magic. I merely mentioned Skratti as SC killers in an attempt to illustrate the differences in power level.

As you can see Munkie, people will have varying (and strongly held) opinions. One nice thing about SP is if things go wrong or you hate the nation you're playing you can just start a new game.

I'll mention one other thing. Let's say you've played for a few dozen turns and you're enjoying it but you want to try some new things. Backup the turn files and then if things go wrong you can just copy them back into the saved games folder and try again.
