Best & Worst Units?

All melee is slow inefficient and you are guaranteed to take significant losses of even comparable strength force. Not using offensive spells with such an army enhances all its weaknesses and provides no benefits.

And you are outright lying about a 4 round battle versus another army of equal or superior numbers not using offensive magic... Thats so blatantly false i don't even know why you would say it.

Well actually I managed to finish most of the battles within 3-4 turns later in the game. Played as Paladin, rarely used offensive magic. Summoned phoeniz all the time, then used ressurection, hypnotise and animate dead spells. Well the last one is not really a Paladin style, but worked for me and my Undead army ))

Wow kid. coming on here, knocking my strategy and also trying to tell me what I know and do is not what I do. You seriously need to grow up and get a pair. My strategy works, I use it every round and do NOT suffer drastic drops in my units what so ever. You are a mage. I'm a warrior. All my stuff gives plus this and that to humans and/or great stats overall for my survival.

You really need to be put in check. I love how you think you can come on here, tell me my strategy is horrible that's very efficient for my class, and also try to tell me I don't do what I say I do. I'm sorry people lie about video games where your from so you are used to it, but this is a forum webpage where people share their ideas and try to actually help one another out. Take your "I know everything" attitude somewhere else.

Ya guy was claiming 4 rounds with an all melee army versus equal or larger forces using no offensive magic. Just wont happen and you will take substantial losses.

Using proper spells and ranged units most battles wont last beyond 2-3 rounds. I once destroyed an impossible army with my army at 50% troop strength just running around the map while i regened mana it took like 15 rounds haha.

Correction: I claimed to kill enemies NOW within 3-4 rounds with an all melee class, I never said I am fighting strong enemies with 3-4 rounds with an all melee class but i'm sure it wouldn't take much longer than that anyways. Dude lets just face it, you don't know everything. Stop talking shit about other peoples strategies, your ruining this thread.

Someone pointed out your flawed strategy you then acted like a twat to them. I examined your strategy and have explicitly told you why its extremely flawed. No reason to get snippy. You asked for feedback and you have received it.

Use this as a lesson to improve and move on. Your constant sniveling it uncalled for so try to keep it on topic.

Actually towards the end of the game I stopped using ranged units at all.
My final army was - Giants, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons :=)
I loved the Green ones for their mana recharge ability

Can't remember exactly, plus actually there is a lot of randomness in the game, so every time experience is different.
I think there were some in the Undead lands, plus some eggs. Then there was some quest in Demonis(?) that sent me to Dragon astral plane, there were lot's of eggs of red and green ones. And then in Elven lands (in the maze) there were a few places that sold like 30-40 dragons each.

My unit layout has changed many times to fit with both my suplly and the current area, but the following have been my key combos this far.

At the start i had priests, archmage, archers, swordsmen, and thorns (cheap and very powerful when combined with priests' bless)

Towards the IoF, i had basically the same except i had archers, swordsmen, guardsmen, sea dogs and pirates (both being in high supply and very useful)

Right now im in the dwarven lands, and have yet to get the knights from the dwarf king, so im running with Cyclops (powerful ranged tanks), cannoneers (pure rape with salvo), alchemist (not a huge fan at all of these guys but the supply and demand required me to use them), dwarves (these warriors arent the highest in number but are very strong and good tanks), and to fill in the last spot ive got miners which i use mostly like peasants as cheap cannon-fodder and rather powerful close range defender for ranged units when dwarves cant help.

Seriously, Kupperz, Fell, and Megakill. You guys could make a new thread and discuss about whose strategy is more effectives. Oh, back it up with video record of your tactic or something. Since I'm interested also to see that.
