I've had to restart my game SEVERAL times so far, but I'm finally up to the level
i was got to the first time round but now im having trouble again.
You see every time i hit a wall in a game i can't pass i restart it and usually
finish it the second time around, BUT THIS TIME i have everything i need
i just don't know how to use it which leads me to ask (regrettable so) more questions.
how do i use the shield miracle?
and can i only use it withing my influence?
and does it
protect against wonder miracles like whirlwind?
and the last shield question does
it defend against invading troops?
and for my last few questions
why do soldiers who are attacking completely ignore my creature when i send him out to battle
him and just go straight for my buildings?
can siege engines be used for defence?
does the heal miracle have any real use?
and for the last question can a creature still be a good creature and still kick ass once in a while?
 
Ok, those are a few good questions. :yes

how do i use the shield miracle?
-you hold down the action button over the spot you want to protect and after about a second you'll get a circle like with making fields. Just drag this out to cover the area you want protected and then release the action button.

and can i only use it withing my influence?
- like all miracles, yes.

and does it protect against wonder miracles like whirlwind?
- yes

and the last shield question does it defend against invading troops?
-Hmm, it will protect against arrows and siege rocks. But I don't think it will stop troops. ???

and for my last few questions
why do soldiers who are attacking completely ignore my creature when i send him out to battle
him and just go straight for my buildings?
-because that's their mission.  :p

can siege engines be used for defence?
- Yes, it's done in the second Japanese land.

does the heal miracle have any real use?
-Other than healing people and increasing your alignment and people's well being by using it. No. :D

and for the last question can a creature still be a good creature and still kick ass once in a while?
-Yes, a creature becomes evil by starting fights. His alignment shouldn't change if he's fighting to defending himself. It also helps if he does a lot of good deeds.
 
also if u just throw the miracle shield it will create a whirl wind like thing suck up all teh troops and send them flying. if u do that to a hurricane it will destroy it but many of ur building will be destroyed
 
I've seen the siege engines being used for defence for the second japan land to but my
more direct question was can they be used for defence benefits to lets say a good god?
who just builds huge city or to say what i really was wondering, can siege engines be
used for defence if placed behind the wall to fire over it at any attackers (it seems unlikely but is it possible?)
another question is if they ignore my creature which they do will they ignore my soldier as well?
and zackers14 what exactly did you mean?
 
Siege weapons don't seem to be too accurate when firing from behind a wall. The best spot for them is in front of and to the side of a wall so they can fire directly on anyone trying to attack the wall.

 
In all the stragie games i've played i've always aimed for making
the perfect defence.
any ideas?

(this is a question so please don't remove it)
 
There's no such thing as the perfect defense. You need to adapt to each situation separately.
 
I have another question that's relevant to "combat" which is what this topic is about.
are other tribes strong? i mean two infantry devisions of equal size and skill level,
what determans the winner? (i ask this because it seems like the japan tribe troops
are stronger then my own)
and also in the game it mentioned troops gaining exp. from sitting and training on there own
how long does it take and how much exp. can they gain?
