I started thinking I finaly needed a shooter stack, mainly to use with dragon arrows. Before replacement my stack was:
Lake Fairies
Sprites
Dryads
Demoness
Emerald dragons
Thinking I'll replace Demoness for most fights where the shooters are needed.
Now here's my point.
Thorn-Hunters:
leadership 8, damage 1-2, dmg/leadership 0,1875
with issharas whip and poision dagger which the rest of my army allready needs:
leadership 8, damage 3-4, dmg/leadership 0,4375 (hello double damage)
with crown of blackthorn which only benefits them but doesen't replace anything vital:
leadership 8, damage 4-6 dmg/leadership 0,625 (50% more). For the interested skeleton archers have 0.3214dmg/leadership which is very close to half. Elven hunters end up at 0.07dmg/leadership...
This is to be compared with what I allways thought was the undisputed dmg/leadership favorite lake fairies/sprites which both have 0.5. This is from a ranged stack.
If dragon arrows reduce defense to 0 then 1 in attack would be enough to hit the 300% cap. On paper it seems like by far the best chooice of all troops in the game but we'll see how it turns out in practice.
Oh and as a bonus the sprites provide +1morale for the thorns aswell, any other way to get the morale up?
