My early game set, as a Warrior on Hard who is not particularly OCD about losses:
Royal Snakes
Inquisitors
Royal Thorns
Priests
Regular Snakes (due to finding the snake boots early)
After discovering Verona, troop availability broadened _significantly_ and I revamped to:
Royal Griffons
Inquisitors
Royal Thorns
Green Dragons
Assassins
By the time I was done with Bolo and working through Rusty, there weren't enough Royal Thorns around to keep up to leadership, so I swapped in Black Dragons discovered at Elon.
The Temple of Love was the first place in the game that I found Paladins, so I immediately benched the Inquisitors in favor of Paladins. This gives me the AOE rez that I need to take out those annoying geyser-spamming heroes I left behind in Rusty.
Currently clearing through Montero, and the Assassins are starting to feel like they're not pulling their full weight. I might bring back Inquisitors for a second source of rez.
Demonologists have been available, but not enough to fill the stack up to leadership.
Druids have been spotted in a couple places; they might be a nice unit to pick up, but I am not sure if their availability will support long-term use.
Archmages have been plentiful, but in KB:TL, I felt their DPS was lacking. Their utility spells seem less necessary in KB:AP, since I can use the dragon for telekinesis and I spam the Dive aoe anyway, and dragon tanks don't really require shield spells to be effective.
Dryads and other female units have been nowhere at all, not even Elon. From seeing the enemy stats, their damage has been nerfed about 20% (was 1-4 in KB:TL, now 1-3), but their default attack now has a 50% chance to put all the victim's special abilities on cooldown. That's a pretty nifty exchange. I've only found 1 piece of the female-buffing kit. Someday I will need to see how the full set fares, but not anytime soon.
