Best & Worst Units?

[Lathspell]

Up so far I did FI, Dwarf and Elven lands with something like Shaman, Horseman, Royal Snake, Inquisitor + Griffin or Bowman/Cannoneer.


I had heavy supplies of Royals Snakes in the swamp (around 2500-3000, lucky me) so I got the frog wife and they just cruised throught most of the fights. They really tend to be one of the best units in the entire game. I only dropped them when I went to Death Lands. Something about poison resistance .

Inquisitors are a key unit in the game all the way up to the point you find your Ressurection spell. Happened late in Elven Lands for my mage. I don't really appreciate them being strong against undead, as undead were rather scarce throught the game so far, save for the cemetery in the swamps. And...well...the Death Lands...But their ressurection ability, coupled with Gift, is a must for any non paladin class. And the Holy Anger buff is great for charging up mana for those Evil Shoals. Damage's nice as well.

Shamans, the stallers in my battle. Again, a must for any mages or ranged users. In the begining, the totems slow down the enemy enough for some extra shots/spells, and after the stacks get high, they soak up an attack, which is great. The other totem provides extra armor and healing for my snakes and griffins, increasing their durability. Their axes are just extras, usefull, but I could go without them. What really amazes me every time they get hit is their awesome durability. 180 hp and heavy armor. Hell, they're tanks too...

Griffins are imo just the perfect receiver for Source of Magic, and any self respecting mage should use them as such. Kinda the only reason I use them. Switched them out when I went on low supply for cannoneers.

The last slot I would have liked it filled with some king of mega tank like a Knight, but I couldn't find any until after I saved the queen, so I settled for the sweet Horsemen. They can deal some pretty decent damage and always ensure me first strike in combat. Also they have some nice stats, and are Armored and Fire Resistant, so they can soak up some damage as well.


Well I for one chose my army for the mage point of view. I don't need them to deal damage, I just need them to eat it up and slow the enemy down until I can cook my opponent with spells. Well, that except for the Snakes, love the snakes...the snakes own stuff hard. They were the best units I could find up to the demon lands, but I switched all of them out for an elven only army, because supply just got too short, and I wasn't in the mood of traveling back on forth from Ellinia to Darion to restock on Horsies and Snakes, Dwarven Lands for cannoneers or to screw around with sacrifice alot. I have only seen the demons in battle a couple of times, but I might switch my current elves for them once I see what my Demon Lands mall has in store for me.
