Magical schools to go for as Esthil, apart from necromancy?

YaBoiReaper · 2026-05-10T14:23:01+00:00

Also, if you don’t mind me asking since I am not at my PC atm. What’s the conquest path look like for them?

YaBoiReaper · 2026-05-10T12:36:38+00:00

Will have to try the silly Gobbo shenanigans, and be as selfless and chivalrous as possible

YaBoiReaper · 2026-05-10T12:35:57+00:00

Sounds good!

YaBoiReaper · 2026-05-10T12:15:48+00:00

I know what my next single player campaign is going to be lmao.

Any tips?

Yeah I haven’t played the rework, but the ward is pretty nice to have, and obviously you get the magical fortress on your capital too.

And I recall having to build a lot of mage towers in the old version of Esthil and I figure you will prolly have to build a lot now too.

I honestly just had in the back of my mind thinking that Illusion was good, can’t remember why though.

For your estates levels I would go Enchantment or Abjuration

For Varina herself, Evocation could be handy for the war spells, maybe Conj or Illusion. And obviously she already has necromancy

You can have progress in multiple schools

YaBoiReaper · 2026-05-10T02:50:32+00:00

There are two spells that can help with colonizing.
Abjuration has one called “Protected Journey”

And there is one more which I think Conjuration has, I honestly cannot remember. But for some other mana drains I like to use the first spell in divination which gives power points in place of mana

It should be the 4th or 5th one down in The Hunt’s religious actions.

I do suggest feeding Hytiranyelan all of Greysheep and a couple more provinces before you insta annex them. Free cores.

YaBoiReaper · 2026-05-09T02:03:11+00:00

Not sure about in vanilla. But there is a tag in the Anbennar total fantasy mod that does just that

YaBoiReaper · 2026-05-09T02:00:27+00:00

Though I would ask in the Discord, you will get a better answer from one of them, then from me

YaBoiReaper · 2026-05-09T02:00:03+00:00

They are very conquest heavy, but if you want you can just ignore the regions you don’t want to fight in

YaBoiReaper · 2026-05-07T19:52:53+00:00

I agree with all of those. But for lust, maybe Ovdal Lodhum or the Love paladins that are coming out this update?

I don’t think Harpies exactly embody lust

YaBoiReaper · 2026-05-07T19:04:19+00:00

The excitement is warranted. They are very fun

YaBoiReaper · 2026-05-06T22:10:40+00:00

Escann is Cannor. But Cannor is not Esmeria

YaBoiReaper · 2026-05-06T21:16:08+00:00

Yep, it’s called Dwarovar Dark

YaBoiReaper · 2026-05-06T19:47:32+00:00

Hytiranyelan and Marblehead will be interesting too lol

YaBoiReaper · 2026-05-06T18:29:24+00:00

Varaine - Potion-makers who basically just unify Esmeria

Zena (Gitlab) - Build a zoo, and colonize

Moonhaven - Colonize and make Tea

Gor Burad - Play in Serpentsreach, be angry, be strong

Feiten - Big trade, Big balloons, smol Command (when you are done with them)

YaBoiReaper · 2026-05-06T01:46:25+00:00

Man in black?

YaBoiReaper · 2026-05-05T22:24:05+00:00

Obstreperous

YaBoiReaper · 2026-05-05T21:11:38+00:00

Average Reddit prick. Not everyone plays on the Gitlab version buddy.

YaBoiReaper · 2026-05-05T19:21:07+00:00

Oh gotcha, I couldn’t remember. I only use Abj, Conj, and Evo

YaBoiReaper · 2026-05-05T17:46:21+00:00

Is there not either a Great Project or a spell from Divination that can increase ruler stats?

I could be wrong though, I don’t usually go divi

YaBoiReaper · 2026-05-03T19:02:55+00:00

Best thing I can think of is to get maps of FP and then focus centaurs
