I use High Tower to connect resources/cities when it makes more sense than another outpost, sometimes i use consulates to increase growth on key cities [mainly high production forts or conclaves with lots of essentia to get another one and arcane forge.] I do agree that the costs are too big and the time they take too much, so the other upgrades never seem worth it to me, and even consulates/tower require too much time to build. Having auto-upgrades with the tech,

Just finished the game, took the dragon and the demonshrill camp and beat on the angles that declared war on me and romanov[custon faction that i played before with wonderlust and henchman]. Could have easily beat on the rest, had double the power of the second place, but they loved and were paying tribute, so I just allied them up to finish the game instead of crushing everyone. quite nice that the three empires survived [Resonlyn with 4 cities, and Zentharim with 5, as well as a cowered Alt

Thanks a lot guys. Indeed, as nDervish has said and it was what i was meaning when I talk " [or solution]" in my previous post, with the exception of Altar who has the amazing amount of 7 crystal [seven, i mean, WTF?], none of my adversaries actually has any crystal or Iron, so they will probably have crappy units and monsters as well. I went with civilization and Im building the Fell Dragon Camp. Don't have nearly enough influence for the Demon Shril

Thanks for the replies guys...

Hi, first time poster here. I recently started a game were I have no Iron or Crystal resource, at all. The Sovering is the Endless Lizardman(forgot his name) from Stormwinds mod. I also have no available place with multiple essence to settle. I have about 5 cities, all towns, only capital and maybe two of them with a single essence (and very poor production on non-capital ones). So, without metal or crystal to power wizards/bows/strike
