Earth and Astral randoms are weaker, but provide the only access to these paths in the nation's roster. \\ \\ Unfortunately, Sauromancers have severe limiting factors as well. Due to [[Old Age]], they have encumbrance issues which are only exacerbated by their [[Cold-Blooded]] trait. Astral randoms are also exceedingly vulnerable to ??Magic Duel??, being the only astral mage available to the nation in an era of mass astral from most other nations. Despite this, they remain a very strong mage, even more so for not being limited to the capital. \\ \\ If desired, ??Twiceborn?? can greatly mitigate the weaknesses of a given Sauromancer, but this has anti-synergy with the nation's great need for death gems for other uses. | |

| The recruitable units of LA C'tis have above-average protection for their resources cost due to natural protection, but still generally very low protection for the era, combined with all-around low stats. If possible, it is generally recommendable to purchase quality indies, such as crossbows, particularly if faced with an enemy with cold scales. | The recruitable units of LA C'tis have above-average protection for their resources cost due to natural protection, but still generally very low protection for the era, combined with all-around low stats.

Casualties are to be expected, but tramplers kill swiftly enough that attrition can be quite minimal when critical mass is achieved. While late game buffs like ??Fog Warriors?? make mundane attacks like trampling much less effective in major battles, freespawn chariots are an excellent source of raiding pressure in any phase of the game. | |

Their modest protection and atrocious defense skill mean that they will take damage every time they are attacked, unless the attacker is blinded by ??Darkness??; no defensive bless can keep them from taking damage quickly in melee. \\ \\ At the same time, they have some impressive stats: 39 HP, 30 morale, 16 [[magic resistance]], and 15 attack skill (readily boosted to 19 with ??Royal Power??) with a respectable 18 damage bite. Because they have so many HP, Tomb Wyrms with a highly offensive bless (say, +8 strength) can trade well even with elites like heavy cavalry and giants, while tanking hits from even top evocations like ??Thunder Strike??. Even without a bless, Tomb Wyrms are ideal evocation bait; at 78 hit points per square, Tomb Wyrms are magnets for banishment spells and other evocations that might decimate fragile tomb chariots. | |

In practice, this means they will die quickly even to militia without major buffs. Their main role is as a [[Standard]] that is fortunately a bit slower than your heavier infantry. The high attack skill and strong poison on their fangs may give them niche uses even into the late game, if you can boost their 10 piercing damage fangs enough to pierce protection. | |
