Best & Worst Units?

[megakill]

I ended up having a stack of Giants, and 4 types of different Dragons. Couldn't hire too many, but 11-12 Black Dragons is good enough to kill almost anything that moves.

Well i'm toward the castle in the elven lands after reading the book and my shaman supply is almost up. I just put the last 100 in reserves. Hope i find some more, for now i'll change my strat from totem tanking to something else.

I think it's really cool that this game doesn't just give you an unlimited supply of any unit that you want. It really forces you to make good decisions during battle to preserve your favorite unit stacks, and it keeps the overall game interesting by preventing you from sticking to only one kind of unit with only one kind of strategy.

Also from the responses this thread has got, it's clear that there are viable strategies for just about every unit; though one person might think one sort of unit bad, another person can say that they put it to very good use. So there are hardly any "trash" units, though I think it's becoming clear that some like the shaman might have slight "abuse" potential. Nevertheless, this game has MUCH better balance than other turn-based battle games, such as Gladius (which was still a good game!)

Good design, developers!

Wouldn't your Green Dragons morale suffer (if you had them in your troop) if you put it alongside Giants?

These are my favorite units:

Griffin: Excellent damage-dealers because of the unlimited retaliation ability. Just get them in front of the enemy and keep pumping resurrect while your archers shoot the living crap out of the enemy.

Emerald Green Dragon: Both talents are excellent for utility. The area attack spell can easily regenerate 25-30 mana every 3 turns while doing 50-70 damage to every enemy around the dragon. The other talent is also great, you can first make your dragon wait, then at the end of the turn you can make him drag an opponent one square so he's next to his buddies, then use the area attack.

Elven archers (both of them): Simply great damage. not against bone-creatures tho

Inquisitor: I use these to punish the undead, also as far as I know inquisitors have the only spell capable of resurrecting lvl 5 monsters. The other talent which blesses a target and makes it do 50% extra vs undead is also pretty good because of the fact you also get some rage.
