That spell is monstrously powerful, especially in the hands of dragons. Although I suspect only one of them would know of it, if the war were to heat up, it would become profligate.The idea of hitting Dire Sharks with lightning is appealing. Does anyone know what sort of dissipative properties seawater has on lightning?And Awakened Sperm Whale Druids... that's actually fairly likely. The last round didn't have much of a naval focus, so the immense Cresian aquatic territories were glossed over, but Cresia does have immense underwater territory. The Cachalot Druids (it's faster to type and sounds cooler) would probably be willing to haul mighty vessels too; dolphin skiffs were never the only vessels Cresia could field, and whales make more sense for coastal shipping. As a sort of halfway point, orca (which are technically dolphins, but as big as small whales) have probably been used to haul small vessels and those that go up the Heaven River, although by this stage the central bore is big enough to accommodate whale-drawn freighters.However, Cresia cares about natural balance. Ausel doesn't. What power Cresia might gain by gaining the allegiance of the seas, Ausel can counter with mass-produced monsters. At least in theory.As for the terror of remorseless formian battle formations... the only formians yet seen by Cresian/Stempan marines are taskmasters floating in the wreckage of Auselen blockade ships. (If formians even float with all that insecty stuff...) We haven't had a proper land-based engagement yet, but when we do... boy, are the humans screwed.Are there any additional comments for the initial naval expedition, or can we assume that the Auselen were weakened but managed to repel the Confederation Fleet with medium losses on both sides? One thing I haven't considered is Cresian aerial support... but then, the Auselen have certain major advantages in the air beyond their weather control...</blockquote>
