Delving into an entirely new school of magic to build fortifications... no thanks. We can only spend so many designs on theoretical stuff. I'm sure we can get by with the schools we have at the moment.

The only thing would be to either create admintine walls or use our weather magic to obscure our positions, we don't have any other means to protect our men from their cannons. With their flare magic the second option is no good and i am not sure even with a design we will be able to make a spell to create enough admintine to make quick fortifications.

I point people back at the Desert Mirage. That will make our forces invisible at medium to long range, which means they'd have to fire blindly at us, if they even knew to fire at all. Any muscle-powered tank analogy will just be a slow moving target.

It's horse-powered. More than sufficient to move it at fast enough to be worthwhile.

It'll need flat, undisturbed ground to move, anything worse than that and it'll get bogged down. The only place we'll find that is occasionally the plains and the desert, two places we're already winning in.

The problem is that they already has a system to fire at extream ranges beyond line of sight

Yes. We'd need to confuse their spotters.

A mirage will do that. The spotter will then have to close to within medium range and then avoid getting murdered by our entire army whilst providing flare based targeting information. I don't know about you, but that sounds difficult.

Well they have their mage hunters so not sure how that will go.

Maybe at some point we should revise arrowheads to use a metal with a very high fixed temperature, so they can light fires where they land. As a side bonus, out men could use bundles of them as space heaters. :D

I'm not going to be voting for the tank ideas at least, it really doesn't sound very workable. As for our revision next turn, I was thinking Adamantine Pavise Shields myself.

We should also see if we can get rid of the glow it makes it really easy to spot our forces at night.

Not in lamellar, it shouldn't. After all---the whole point of lamellar is metal strips inside layers of leather and cloth.

I'm very much against this. The pavise shields woipd do nothing against their artillery, which is really the only reason they made such a big push last turn. I think we need to give adamantium a rest for a bit. We've made it pretty good, now we need to focus on countering the shit thsts giving us so much trouble, like their cold, artillery, and falcons.

Er, why wouldn't the Pavise Shields do anything verses their Arty? Blocking their Arty is why I considered it in the first place. Braced against the ground and with a hard Adamantium front they should be more then able to block incoming fire.
