I am putting sciences 'aside' for now as i am going to come OOP into war.
As for next age i am in two minds still about whether Cleric or Mystic is best for an Elf Attacker Mage.
The Cleric would enhance my military's strength and survivability while the Mystic would greatly enhance my spellcasting abilities. I am still undecided as to which is the better personality for an Elf A/M.
