most usefull talent: reserve!

[koekman]

Hi,

I would like to share my experience about this talent.
I think it's the most usefull talent in the game because it saves very much on downtime.

If you put troops on reserve list they don't count for leadership, so this is how i play it.

I have in my game right now (lvl 13) 1 tank unit and 4 range units....

- royal snakes (great for a mage because you can almost always shoot the enemy first before the can do anything) they are great damage dealers and tanks.
- evil beholders
- priests because i can't get my hands on inquisitors anymore :(
- archmages
- shamans.

so i put my reserve slots full of royal snakes and evil beholders (150+ troops) so i can fill them up when needed.

This works great and i have so little downtime going back for troops.

Sureley an useful talent, I have to agree. Myself I use sometimes one extra slot also to replenish reduced stacks, but if you go tactically in the upper difficulties (hard and impossible), you should have some different troops in these slots so you can react on different enemies. I.e. archers are not so useful against undead (skeletons -> projectile weapons) whereas magic projectiles work better. So before the fight I exange my stack of archers with priests....
