I love this idea, or some variant of it. Rename the Spell of Making to Ragnarok or something, have it force the strongest armies in the world into combat directly, with no turn breaks! The Spell of Making, as it exists in the game, is very disappointing, easy to complete, and frankly, poorly conceptualized.
Spell of Making is stupidly easy to win with. I just play with it off. Really, the only strategy you need is this: 1) find a 3+ essence tile to build a city on, other stats don't matter, though obviously clay mines nearby are handy 2) make it a fortress to buff production and get the silly "move first" level up benefit and Def buffs 3) level a mage champion to get Hydromancy (Gentle Rain) - this step is optional, but it helps if your ci

Out of my 4 games, I
