I chose the mystic egg dragon but I find I am using the treasure finding + crushing blow a lot more than the egg.
Anyway, I am a bit overwhelmed by the amount of possible troops you can recruit so I am looking for some advice on what I should combine.
My leadership is right around 1000 and I have a few griffins, vampires, snakes, devilfish and marauders. My reserves are priests and inquisitors.
For a while I was stacking up the archers and swordsman from the first castle but those ran out.
I have now moved onto the second island and I'm finding it much harder.
I took the glory talent combined with both the order and distortion magic talents. I copied about 10 scrolls into my spellbook
Thanks

Search around for some of the "zero loss" threads and suck up all the info on units and tactics from those. The units you can get are partly randomised every game, so you can't always be sure you'll get what you want, however they'll usually turn up eventually.
Early on I generally look for:
Paladins,
Royal Snakes,
Royal Thorns,
It takes some practice, but you can usually steal the maps from an island without getting into a fight, then sail the coast of the later islands (avoiding fights) and try to pick up some dragons or other powerful units early in the game, such as trolls or cyclops.
Edit: Useful links!
