5 Worst Units Challenge (One for each level)

[clinek]

with this army your best bet is to group them all together to protect one another. Speed is not essential at all since they probably aren't going to be moved much. Initiative is however important since we want to use rage and spells as much as possible and as soon as possible to have any chance of winning. Who the hell is going to beat a group of dragons with devilfish and berserkers? beserkers are idiots so you can expect to lose the entire stack on each fight. i dont think it would be possible if your a warrior. You have to be able to utilize all spells or your going to lose...bad.

Berserkers are just too terrible. This isn't workable with them . Not only are they a unit with bad stats for its leadership (less HP than leadership) but they don't let you plan out the battle intelligently. Oh, and since I can't get an easy map to Verona, I have only 3/5ths of a full army (bears, fish, berserkers) and they are the worst 3/5ths no less.

Maybe if I had a way to reproduce the units without end? perhaps, maybe?

Update: I realized I was doing this completely backwards, and so restarted, this time going straight for Resurrection skill. Yes, Berserkers may die like crazy... but if you can rezz them at the end of combat, you won't run out.

And then.. this crazy thing happened: I found a blood of the goddess in a stump in Bola. 700 Extra leadership in the early game helped SO much.

Kited maps once I got to Verona (first time I've ever done it) and ended up with maps of all islands except for nameless and Montero (of course). So now I've done all those no-fight quests, and am back to cleaning up pre-Verona area. Got some ogres, got rezz level 3. Starting to feel very workable. The resurrection skill also makes Sacrifice Spell stupidly easy to use. WE aren't going for 'no loss' so just sack the unit that you've lost this combat to fill out your army.

i bet u sacrfice all beserkers lol

[Zechnophobe]

Don't have the mana for it, but I do sacrifice from them a lot . Especially since there are limited amounts of the other creatures. I'm going to have SOO many losses at the end of the game, haha.

Well, this is one of the weirdest games I've played by far at this point.

I'm level 24, cleaned up most of the way through verona (still haven't gotten a nameless island map). Turns out 100% resurrect skill, and Berserkers is an amusing combo. You target them, they run off and die like crazy... but do large amounts of damage while dying... and generating a heck of a lot of rage.

Ogres provide a little cover, and will tank archers if possible. Bears are almost useless do to their speed, but I just got the Mining Flute for the formen stack (+2 morale, +1 speed) so they can mix it up pretty well now.

And hey, I just finished the 'ring of the holy'. So I'll probably be doom to demons.

[Razorflame]

what about the devilfishes?
^^

quite a funny combo indeed beserkers with resu skill xD
lol

[Zechnophobe]

Devilfish are okay. I'm using Jimmy Craud, so they are 4 move. Basically they nip at anything that can't retaliate, or the occasional low level unit (Hoping for fear). They are easy to rezz via the spell, which is how I get them back.

Ogres at this point are starting to be harder and harder to keep alive. THere's also only like 20 of them in the entire game, so here's to hoping for plenty of call Colossus scrolls!
