I confirm. I dont think it was a mistake not to rush. No reson to walk into empty area with no trasportspells when you can make a huge amount of skells. I ended up with 3,3 k skells and 4 to health plus high stats. What cost me the game was that I failed to get any transport spells, which was my own fault but also somewhat unlucky not to get anything from my 3 t-areas.
