have you chosen a pretender yet? Scales? Man/Sidhe is a good choice for blessings.
I've been trying a Golden Naga in my tests. Fire 4, Water 4 give decent bless bonuses for my Daoine Sidhe. The Defense +2 is especially nice since they have a base Def 15 to begin with. With Glamour and high Def they should make nice tanks.

I've been going with Dominion 6, Luck+1 and Magic+2 for Tuatha theme and Heat +1. SHould I go with Luck+2 instead of Magic+2? I like have "good" events but the extra Research seems helpful since I have to rely mostly on Bards w/Research 3 until I find a Library.

Which pretender build do you like?

Ok, I've done some more testing and I'm starting to like the standard Man. I'm going with Air9 pretender for the auto Air Shield 70% on my Wardens so I can stick em right in the middle of the bad guys and not worry about my Longbows tearing them up.

Flanking helps even more. Set the archers far to the sides of the battlefield and slightly back from where the front-line troops are standing (so they dont get targeted by troops set on "attack closest"). Shooting from the sides gets alot of arrows fired without having to try and shoot over your troops. Only when the two Groups are in major melee will friendly fire become a consideration.

Try to find a druid province. Those sneaking archers make a great addition to a warden force. March everything forward until you are too banged up to go further, then let the warden group continue forward (on sneak) watching for opportunity
