I'll try that, but what stops them from being massacred/routed? do you mix them w/ any other sort of troop?

Also, I know the empoisoner is considered a great assassin, I'm just wondering why? what do people use his magic for? barkskin? summon a single skeleton?

I'm sure the unit has great potential, I'm just not sure how best to use him.

As I said, I haven't played much C'tis, but I've had success with Empoisoners when they cast Decay and the other offensive Death 1 spells rather than summons.

Empoisoners. There are three levels of power for them.

Level 1: Weak Commander, Weak Mage
-Requires to continuously cast Summon Skeleton

Level 2: Strong Commander, Strong Mage
-Requires a single nature gem per assassination and scripted to cast Summon Swarm

Level 3: Weak Commander + Weak Guards, Weak Mage + Weak Guards
-Requires a Skull Staff to cast Raise Skeletons

The only way to kill something stronger than these situations is to get fully-equipped assassins (Construction 6) with a heroic ability (HP or Protection are best)

Yeah, but assassinations are kinda random. What do you do if a province contains a mixture of these types, and you have no idea what victim you're going to draw in advance?

Equip your assassin with a skull staff and hope for the best.

Anybody have any advice for playing with the miasma domain? I do OK playing with the base domain, but I seem to have trouble with miasma -- it's hard when all those nice sages die of horrible diseases.

I prefer Miasma to Base C'tis for the most part. Especially the mages. What exactly are you looking for advise? How to effectively play against who?
