I always used to use polar bears or ancient bears instead of wolfs, fairies, etc but the point is i never used em on battle on Debir xD. In fact, i did the glory medal and the no losses medal only with inquisitors and a 1 royal thorn lol. U dont need a hugh army on Debir. The exploit u mention on the start of the game is not such a exploit, it is the initial army given to you at the start, when u finish the tutorial, the game gives u again the same troops (on case u lost almost all of em). So, if u dont waste any troops , u will have 2x.
Royal Snakes are the best units on early game, but if u want to minimize loses u will change em to another stronger unit on mid-later islands. If u find a big stack of level 5 units, use em, they rule normal mode (and on impossible, but impossible is a bit hard for u right now). And bowman are too fragile unit, u should change em too. They are good on high number stacks, but they die too fast. If u can get cyclops on bola, use em. Only a few units will attack em, like beholders or shamans, and cyclops are a very useful units.
As u noticed, there are some units / races that the AI will not attack eventually. Elfs and Demons are one of em. I am playing now with a mod that gives me , for example, cerberus or scoffer imps at the beginning, and the AI never attacks em. But this is on impossible....
