Grants Water Breathing. Also 0 encumberance armour.

Raw Hide Shield - seriously? you find it is worth the gems?

0 level. 0 encumberance. Use it on a battle caster if you can't make anything better and need the protection.

Flambeau - Agreed that it is a good item, but i think the gem price is too high.

Fire gems...I usually don't have much use for them outside of battle magic. But it is expensive.

Wall Shaker - i find it too niche...

Item spam Panic. I like that spell. The seige bonus is just a bonus.

Winged Shoes - strategically useful, but is flight really useful enough to justify it in combat?

Depends. Sending a thug to block cavalry or attack archers is always fun. Allows a regular commander to lead flying units. edit: On a flying raid or to reinforce a regular army, I mean.

Birch Boots - I find Boots of the Messenger a much better alternative.

Resistances may be important depending who you fight. In a strong cold province, for a commander without cold resistance, the net encumberance reduction is better than boots of the messenger.
