Question about army composition

[Vilk]

I didn't explain me well I also prefer Shaman than Alchemist and yes Shaman are stronger.

In first areas you won't get any Shaman but you are guaranty to get Alchemist for a long use. Even in Pirates Islands you have no guaranty to get Shaman.

Yes Shaman don't use much their normal attack unlike Alchemist that what I tried to explain.

Actually, in all of my 5 games so far, Shaman were available at the Orc embassy, so maybe I was just lucky? Though I think it's more likely that it's just scripted somehow that there should be a high probability of shaman appearing there as a sold unit.

Also, shaman were available in my last game in the tavern in Arlania, the one where you get the dragon's tooth quest. Granted, there were only two for sale.

You was lucky but not a lot. For all units it's somehow scripted and not fully random but pick among a limited set of units with a different probability for each.

I get one game with no Shaman in Islands but in most I get a good stack of them in Orc Ambassy.

In areas before you'll always get Alchemist and an excellent choice for those area, hate them so much to not try them in those areas is not the wisest if you ask me.
