LA Utgard guide

Asuming an E9 N6 bless strategy, what overall mid-game strategy would you follow if you had Arco (with a phoenix as pretender) as main enemy?

Around turn 30, got a few werewolf thugs already geared up with Construction 4 items, and growing numbers of woodsmen.

- Best Research priorities?
- Army orientation? what mages/spell combination or tactics?
- What other thugs and SC should I be aiming for? Deat magic, Bane lords, Tartarians? do earth or nature magic offer decent SC somehwere I must have missed?
- Global spell strategy rather, mother oak + gift of health for further regen maybe and stick to woodsmen?

Any advice appreciated,
