 ====Constructing Artillery Stacks====
-Some particularly fun stacks of stuff open up as your research progresses. Use your pretender to forge a Fire booster - a ??Flame Helm??, ??Staff of Elemental Master?? or ??Skull of Fire?? should be possible depending on the paths you picked, or worst case save up {{gems>50D}} and empower a Magus Supreme to get a flame skull.  Forge a ??Water Bracelet??, and now a water random Supreme can crank out as many ??Rune Smasher??s as you have gems for without bothering your pretender anymore.  Probably not too much of a surprise, but while we have great use for penetration boosters throughout the game at this point we’re going to set up a mind hunt battery.  Stacking an astral cap, rune smasher, ??Void Eye??, and a ??Spell Foci?? is a Tower of Power that’s a staple for a reason, but Ind can stack higher.  The risk of course with ??Mind Hunt??ing is that if you do it aggressively your enemies are gonna start sprinkling astral mages around with bait, and then you’ve got a feebleminded expensive, slow to recruit cap-only mage with a permanent void eye.  One powerful combo if you can swing it is adding the ??The Chalice?? artifact to that tower of power, but that requires researching all the way up to [[construction]]-8, you then have to hope nobody else has already grabbed it.  Luckily there’s no need for that!

 ??Arel?? is powerful healers, and you’ve got reliable access to them way easier than trying for the Chalice. Several +5 penetration mind hunters that can operate aggressively without much fear of sneaky astral mages are really brutal against any nation that is not fielding tons of astral mages. Certainly, you can snipe thugs, but don’t overlook opportunities to fire several mind hunts at enemy armies as they’re moving to important engagements - if you’re lucky only half the army will move as an important low MR commander’s mind melts.
