Oh, and as for Warrior, you will have shorter and more brutal combats. Since your stacks should be ripping the enemy ones to pieces, high initiative, high movement units can do wonders, since they'll get to do their damage fast and early. Combine, of course, with Tactics to make sure the enemy doesn't survive the first turn well. A starting Fiery Phantoms in the fight goes great for this. Use spells that don't need high intellect, such as Blind, Slow, Target, Timeback, stoneskin and Phantom. (Phantom DOES use intellect, but your larger stack sizes off set this).
Yeah, Royal Snakes are deadly little monsters. I was almost going to go for a "mega snake monster" build, but it seems very difficult to get two of those snake rings.

It almost seems like it is somewhat on par with the Girl Power.

Not to mention, I played this game waay too much. I better take a long break from it.
