Newb seeking advice on troops, what next? (long)

[magritte]

Thanks for your reply. I decided to replace the peasants with royal snakes and the bowmen with inquisitors. I just found the magic school in the forest which means I have the rage chest and was able to fill up my quota of Archmages, so I've got six of them now. It's definitely a stronger team. Don't know quite how I'm supposed to activate the spirits, though. I finished a couple more quests (reunited the dragon and his love, treaty with the barbarians), and went back into the marshes to work on the crypts.

Click on your character, then the picture of each individual spirit. You'll be given various dialogue options, including how to have them serve you. Two will serve immediately - one has to be fed poisonous creatures, the other requires that you win a battle. The other two will join later, after you complete their requirements.
