Claymen are worthy summons.

Doesn't Nature increase the amount of regeneration? Or is that only from spells like Personal Regeneration?

I believe thats only from spells such as personal regeneraton and strength of gaia.

I just checked, and nature magic has no apparent effect on regeneration. A N10 wyrm with 160 hitpoints regenerates 16 hit points per turn, while a wyrm with no magic regenerates the same.

If Belcarl is going with a nature wyrm he should switch its magic paths to make sure it can eventually cast strength of gaia.

The N4 was for the Naiad bless, since I could have sworn those were sacred. Without it the points are probably better spent on Air or Earth magic.

Nature magic is supposed to increase regeneration, according to in-game information when you're creating your pretender. If it doesn't have any effect, it's a bug. It definitely does seem to increase regenerative abilities of independent mages, but I'm not 100% on this, since regenerating nature mages aren't very common. Also, Shambler Thralls are really nice for early expansion. They're size 3 with trample and 50 morale. Difficult to take down with 24 hp and prot 7, plus they're amphibious. Most independents find it really hard to deal with 100 of them at a time.

Nature increases regeneration that's received from the spells (Personal Regeneration, Strength of Gaia etc). It doesn't affect natural regeneration AFAIK.

are you serious?
Shambler Thrall is a 35G unit. and you are talking about using 100 of them against independents, as if you spent 3,500G on other units you are likely unable to handle independents w/ your 3500g unit o_O
