Things are looking decidedly up!  Turn 50 brings us the ability to make Halberdiers!  At 75GP apiece, I can handle that.

Hugue gets another Level Up and gets another Movement Point.

The next turn brings new Spell Research.  Terror of Night causes a moderate amount of Spirit Damage, 15, but, very few units of any stripe have protection against it.  You will also notice a Settler unit in Calartirn.  I am trying to get to the other side of Greynight, cast Harvest Blessing on the newly founded city and pop the borders and steal the Holy Ground that Greynight will gobble up soon.  All of this in order to complete the Temple to Fervus and gain some free Beastmasters!

You will now also notice that I have put the Settler in the water.  I figured I can hug the coastline and use land units to scout for bad guys.  In the water, my Gnome Settlers get one additional MP and a small missile attack.  Here's to hoping.

And Pete gains a level!  He adds the ability to pass through rough terrain normally to his skillset.

Hugue Dry Branch has found an Artifact and a large amount of Mana.

Hogwoods was ALSO built to take advantage of the Magic Fields.  A Magic Testing Field will boost Mana and Research at the cost of some Gold.

In another stroke of good fortune, a Heroo has offered her services to me.  A Healer and one who can use the other Artifact I currently possess.  However, this is also the turn that Stubborn Knights can first be built.  I only have 213 Gold.  I can wait on one or the other and still have a significant amount of Gold towards the purchase of the one I don't choose.  I decide on the Hero.  The damage she can do is greater, of a magical rather than melee variety, and she Heals.  The Knights will have to wait a few more turns.

Looking at this picture, you will notice several things.

1)  RBIII's mob is still together, including the Settler.  That's good.

2)  I have my straight line through Greynight, thereby keeping Rrat Bastige North of me.

3)  My Gnome Settlers are prepared to disembark next turn and move to become a city.

4)  If you look at the minimap in the bottom right hand corner, you will see that the entire Northern portion of the board is connected.  That is Hugue Dry Branch as my farthest West unit.  He's going to do in those Werewolves next turn.  Nothing can go wrong...

The reason we are building Gnome Settlers is because a Greater Fire Elemental stepped out of the Fog of War due South of the Werewolves Hugue was going to kill and made my Gnomes into ash.  The good news is, the hex the Elemental came out of is a Holy Ground, hence, the new unit of Gnomes.  The bad news is, I gotta figure out how to kill the GFE.

Yikes! 

So what *does* one use to take out a Greater Elemental?

In this case, I believe it will be a warrior Hero, a Minotaur some Spells and maybe an Archer.

Good luck with that!

Turns out it was two applications of Terror of Night for 30HP and the metal ministrations of our warrior Hero, Hugue Dry Branch for the remaining 10HP.
