Extra Speed for Knights/Paladins?

[ShuiMienLung]

Demonesses can solve the problem for both of your units: teleport one of your slow guys into the middle of the enemy, and bring the swapped enemy unit right next to the other slow guy.

If you have Tactics, you can start with the rest of your army--ranged guys, and the Demonesses themselves--at the other side of the arena, so the enemy would have to move to hit anyone other than the paladin or knight right next to them.

Some arenas--Demon suppression is the one I can think of off the top of my head--have sort of "wings" on the map that have only one hex adjacent. If the one you Demonic Transfer out starts inside that pocket, and the one you leave behind is in the adjacent, the enemy you swapped for cannot even walk out to hit the rest of your army.

I like the sound of that! So far I'm merely using my paladins to advance slowly and give my Royal Griffons a second turn, while grabbing a chest if one happens to be nearby. Of course later everyone gathers for a big group hug!

While I think Demonesses are sexy babes, I just hate how they can't be resurrected by the Paladin.

I think they would make a good combo otherwise. Pious men with sultry vixens. Can't they make Demonic Children? Haha.

[1darklord]

They can't? Damn there goes that idea then...

You don't really need to have them at the front at once. Just wait with your units until the enemy comes to you or if they have ranged troops, wait until next turn and cast haste on the pallys. If you have demonesses they can also swap the pallys or knights with another troop.

I've found some Pilgrims Boots which give the lowest movement unit +1 to movement, so far it seem to be giving it my Knights every time, which is actually quite handy.

In Crossworlds there is also the artifact known as "Belt of the Victor" which gives all units +1 speed and +50% defense. Is that overpowered or what? Warriors have a better chance of getting it but if you're lucky you can find the parts in stores.

If you have multiple units with the same lowest speed, I believe which unit gets the bonus is dependent on position within your army. Try swapping the knights and paladins and see if the paladins start getting the bonus speed.
