Re: LA Man Strategies
Magisters Arcane have a 50% chance of a single fire pick, so with a little maneouvering you can get some able to cast 'Flaming Arrows' - you just need to have a pretender with fire and forge some boosting items. But this is a long road, especially compared to Wind Guide, which you can pretty much get out of the box.
The Defenders are definitely your best troops: high protection (15), a kite shield, crossbow and precision 12. I put them in midfield with orders to 'Fire'. They fire their crossbows until melee closes and then bring out the broadswords.
As far as magic goes I mainly go for Wind Guide, Air Evocations, and Earth spells (such as Legions of Steel) which will boost my troops survivability.
A bless is nice, but not essential, since your only sacred troops are the Wardens, which are capital only. They make great stealth attackers though.
*edit* the alteration path also has Body Ethereal and Luck, which your Magisters Arcane can cast to buff your Defenders/Wardens, if you have enough money to send them along
