Is the early Air Shield you were trying to think of "Protective Winds?" Alteration 3, Air 2. It's sorta between Air Shield and Arrow Fend.

Yeppers that's the one

I never thought to try this kingdom out but they seem way cooler than my initial impression of man-beast savages :p

What kinda strategy did you go for

17:58 "doodoo"

Really have been enjoying these, and they've definitely helped open my eyes to nations I normally overlook, so thanks! I know the videos are already fairly long, but is there any possibility of doing a few turns of expansion too? Personally, one of the areas I tend struggle with the most is figuring out just what I need to make an efficient expansion party, and hearing/seeing what works would be awesome.

Sure that's a great idea I could do 6-8 turns without adding to much time

Ur usually shouldn't do water stuff, but it's legit if there is significant water & no water nations (like the default maps). Kulullu *are* indy troops basically, but you can make forts and recruit water mages UW, so once you take root in an ocean it's almost as difficult to get rid of you as an actual UW nation. Even w/o this, you probably want at least one water fort just for astral. Kulullu can go on land with shambler skin (w1 5 gem item), amulet of the fish should not be made for them. I think you usually don't bring sages out of water unless you can do opportunistic raiding/troll people as a poor man's UW. As you say, longbows are no joke if you can screen for them. Especially in EA. Edit: you're an empowerment or two away from recruiting repeat astral and death guys. Bone readers will search enough death income, and the sages can run arcane probing to get you income early, which you drop an empower or two on an enkidu shaman or something and start making golems in turn 40-50+ range (plus matrix items). Fire and glamour will take more work. Air you can summon more A3...this is less than the Caelums of the world, but way more air than nations that lack it can break into.
