A few questions from a new player

But as soon as I get outside the holy trinity of repair droid/guard droid/engineer I get absolutely demolished, no contest at all. I go from needing 1 or 2 rounds to revive lost units to 75% losses or a complete wipe. For reference, I've attached a screenshot of my current character. In addition to whats shown, I have a bit of focus on Prayer in the mind line and Anger in the Might line. I don't think my build is bad at all, but tell me if I'm missing anything obvious.

It is possible.

I've done the "Shrek" army build (warrior), uses Ogre, Ogre Chieftain, Trolls, Rune Mage, and Black Dragons.

Goblin build (warrior) uses goblin, catapults, paladin, royal griffins, and goblin shaman.

Mega summon build (mage) relies heavily on Dragon of Chaos and Ancient Phoenix summons. Secondary units are rune mages, demonologist, and black dragons.

Battles are usually brisk without any mindnumbing 60 round battles. Boss battles, I try to win without resorting to solo Black Knight stacks, but sometimes I have to use the Black Knights.

Definitely scour the forums here, there are tons of strategies. Feel free to look at the Armored Princess ones too, since most of the rules apply in Crossworlds.
