Default Enchantment Bonus site:50 thoughts on its use

Hi all, Trying to figure out the best strategy for using an Enchantment Bonus:50 site. I am playing C'tis, glory of god map, with 14 AI players, non-cbm. The site is underwater which limits its usage. Initially I am thinking it'll just be a cheap Animate Skeleton spam site. I can see it being a good spot to summon the Ziz too. This seems like such a potentially useful site that I'd like others opinons on best uses for it given these constraints. (ugh if it were on land Id be spamming Behemoth for all its worth until the beginning of the end game).

PS I DID do a search of the forum. Doesn't seem to be any friendly user guides on strategic usage of these sites. Did run across that excellent one for boosters though.

the classic use is using it to leverage yourself into bunches of half priced demi-liches especially for the creation of tartarian factories. Too bad you're under water

Enliven statues is probably the best spam spell. Great Kraken if you're using EDM/CBM. Gargoyles. Claymen are ok.

Cheap Twiceborn could be useful for C'tis. There are a couple of globals you could throw up cheap. No use once you have to fight for slots though.

Underwater makes it much less useful.

thanks guys. That was about my assessment too. Just not being that grand a strategist thought i might have been missing a trick or two. To bad there aren't terrain changing spells in this game

Sounds like Leviathans are what you want. Particularly against the AI, lay a buff or two on them (body ethereal, luck, quickness, haste...gift of flight if you've turned up A mages) and I doubt you'll be disappointed.
