Why can't we research the 4 starting spell books if our sovie doesn't get them at start ??

(refering to "life", "enchantment", etc)

This matters more for those of us with the extra book contents, since the sovies there don't have those books.  I'm playing Nym now, and even when I finally got a spellcaster, I'm still locked out of my favorite spells.

Shouldn't they be accessible somewhere, like maybe in the "expert spellbooks" branch ?

agreed. not saying it should be easy, but i would prefer them accessible somehow. also perhaps as quest rewards?

I suppose, at the very least, all sovereigns should get universal spells. So in addition to faction spell books (life and death) they also got generic spells so they could at least do a few nifty things. Of course, these would not be nearly as good as the specialized books but it would would allow for some balance between being almost overwhelmed with spells and not having any real spells at all (at least until researched well well into the game).

I agree

I agree a high level tech would be cool that delivers those spellbooks.

I think a vry basic damage spell that you start off with would be good - and maybe linked to intelligence would help differentiate the sovereign from every other mug.  I should be able to blat away a low level bandit, not save up some miney to buy a stick so I can hit him over the head with him with my 2 peasant army.

You might want to check out this mod, helps the fun a lot with the early game if you are playing a more caster centric sovereign.
