Gameplay
Teneb´s faction harvest its power from shadows. Massing and keeping is the key.

Teneb needs to have Lower Shadows (or Shadows in short) summoned to actually summon more powerful magic units. Each summoned Shadow add +1 to Casting time to Summon Shadow spell. This casting time can be reduced by recruting Orator(s). Each Orator decreases Casting time of Summon Shadow spell by 4 (min 1).
