If you add items like Griffin banner -30% Leadership, Wind Wings boot +1 speed to flying units, Golden Feather +1 speed to griffins and/or Banner of Heroism +1 to initiative, this unit is huge if you dedicate it a reserve slot. With all those regalia items the elf wife with no children is a nice choice.

Hey Vilk
Thanks for your reply. I had thought of Griffins for first strike but went for Horseman because of the 130 HPs they have. I am level 8 and have seen very few items of value including Spells at every place I stop and they don't ever restock their inventory(or change it). I have 140,000+ gold and have spent an additional bunch of gold trying units that are pests for fodder and do some damage. Simply no good equipment in any of the first four areas except for a shield and a sword I upgraded to a Runic Sword also a Snake(?) ring.
Knights do better on a retalitory strike but I must have missed the 'training up the skill' part. I will have to go check.
