Guardsmen - why so rare?

[elkston]

Thanks for the replies, guys. I've pretty much come to the realization that I'll always be short on Guardsmen this game. I did try the "sacrifice" spell, but it simply doesn't produce them in the numbers I would like. Perhaps casting it at a higher level would be more beneficial, but I am a warrior and don't want to invest any more points in magic.

Either way, there are plenty of alternatives. I'm even thinking of carrying around 3 "archer" stacks (Hunters, cannonballers, bowmen) to maximize use of that great scope artifact!

Super game, BTW. Probably sleeper of the year.

I just realize that the Guardsman in the chapel will turn into "Horde" after defeating Karador. It has been a while since I defeat Karador.

Ahhh, good to know. I'll just keep playing then and have more patience!!!
