They also have a decent melee attack once the arrows run out. Nomad horsebowmen trade in the first strike of normal cavalry for 8 ranged shots, and with 2 move they can kite a lot of units while shooting with no range penalty. Two other very fast, nice races are nomads and gnolls both only need to add a stable to start making decent units (a fighter's guild, naturally, will make the units better right out of the gate). When I've tried another race to capture a human city in the past I've tended to use the Klackons (because of the quick-to-build and tough Stag Beetle) which meant my human subjects were pretty soon revolting (to coin a phrase), I'd never contemplated using a friendlier race before. (You can always redo the exploit mid-game if you feel the need.) Before starting play, save it to a save slot.Р”Сћ) Use the cheat code, and see if the selection of wizards, cities, races and available resources makes for a game you want to play.Р”Р€) If so, restart the game by reloading from the save slot and play as normal. Not all that critical after the first few turns, but a potential disaster early on when mana resources are still low.Р”РЋ) Generate a new game. And these two spells have a per-turn maintenance cost, which you'll be paying unless and until you dispel them.

The downside is that it does the same for the other wizards as well, putting them in touch with you right away. The upside of this exploit is that it casts both Nature's Awareness (an otherwise very rare Nature spell) and Detect Magic (an uncommon Arcane spell). (No harm no foul, though, at least from me.) As a suggestion for next time, I'd recommend adding SPOILERS to the thread title, just as an extra heads-up.
