Where do you first get Pangolins? I haven't even met them as enemies yet, but I really want to use them in my army. This is my first play-through and I want to test all the new units as well the changes to the old ones.
I just got to Verona and bought myself some 13 Royal Griffins, can't wait to try them. Too bad they don't mix well with Dragons (-2 morale) so I guess my Emeralds will take a backseat from now.
My current army composition was until now (Level 9): Droid Guards, Droid Engineers, Polar Bears, Emerald Green Dragon and the last unit I swapped between Inquisitors or Royal Thorns, depending on the need for resurrection.
Droids are really fun units, they can take a pounding due to high resistances and defense. Guards are a tad slow, but they can grab and pull enemy shooters/mages from across the screen to your slower units, which is great. Shock is a bit bugged - doesn't work as often as 30% chance would let you think. Damage is always max for them (12-12) which is nice. Engineers have ultra-powerfull resurrection skill for droids, it works much better then regular resurrection, so you can let your droid guards run ahead and take the beating. Plus, it's rechargable. They are also the most mobile shooters in the game with 4 speed and flying, it's impossible to block them.
Little hint: if your engineers are getting killed - since they can't resurrect themselves - use Phantom on them and heal them with the phantoms.
From the new units, Demonologists are also great, but I found only 4 so far. Their summoning (it always brings Demons, Executioners or Cerberi) is great for blocking/occupying enemies, thanks to the new demon skill that lets Demons/Executioners act again if they are hit (50% chance). A pity you cannot control these summons, though. Their other skill is like sacrifice cast on enemy units - good, but not as powerfull as resurrection, of course.
