Ah. My usual start army is bowmen, priests, inquisitors (if available), royal thorns as soon as I can reach that one house that usually has them, and royal snakes. I've always viewed priests as kind of a magic parallel to bowmen. Useful early on, but without the paladin bonus, I'd never use them past it. I ditched the priests for beholders when I got the money to buy my full leadership worth of them.
This time I'm doing something I haven't done before - using a fully undead army. The plan is Ritualists, Adept of Darknesses, Mistics, Black Knights, and Liches. I usually skip the undead, because they're a pain to resurrect, but with the paladin 100% return on a dead stack, I'm hoping I can use the black knights as a tank and as sacrifice fodder without losing any.
