Favorite units / items / spell combo's (no rune mage / paladin)

[dainbramage]

Of the new units, my favourites are:

Warrior maidens - fast, durable, good damage especially with spear, no retal (sometimes) and have an extremely powerful revive to boot.
Berserkers - they simply they do an obscene amount of damage, that's about all there is to it. They're somewhat fragile and don't have any special talents, but to me that's mitigated by their ability to OHK their own leadership (or more) of enemy units.

Sadly with the removal of the dragon heart and changes to rune mages, my favourite CW army is no more (red+green+black dragons/archdemons/rune mages). And warrior maidens would make a fine addition to an all-female team if anga's ruby or the princess set was reintroduced.

Sadly with the removal of the dragon heart ...

Who said dragon hearth is moved from game ? It`s in game files items.txt and eng_items.lng also. You just had bad luck with item random distribution.

Yea the Dragon Heart is still there, I got it somewhere. Maybe through a quest, idk.

hmm...favorite combo?
My current all-Mage party...
Rune Mage - Good damages and skills.
Druid - becoming my favorite thanks to their spread damages. First and second skills are okish, third one is useless.
Archmage - decent damages but skills are good for shocking enemies and third skill can be used in combination with trap.
Demonologist - bad damages but good skills.
Shaman - a lot of totems to distract enemies so it's good.

Another unit combination is the Plant one:
- Ancient Trent - good damages + VERY tough
- Trent - decent damages + faster than Ancient Trent
- Faunt - bad damages, good skills though + resurrect plants.
- Spitting Thorn - Main Damages dealer in the group
- Royal Thorn - decent damges + very good skill

Retaliation Army:
- Demonologist - bad damges but good summoning and Resurrection skill
- Executor - Great damages, great skill, great abilities.
- Demon - see above
- Royal Griffin - Tough and good skill of summoning another unlimited retaliation ally.
- Griffin - Good damages and very tough with right protection.

Move-one-more army:
- Paladin
- Jarl
- Demon
- Executor
- Orge

Doom + Hel's Messenger does crazy damage, I've seen 65k so far. Ofcourse it depends on the stack size.

Here I am, several years later trying the game and looking for a good combination. Guess I should have tried it long ago before loosing tons of troops but whatever...
I found the Rune mages + Demonologists + Jarls + Warrior Maidens to work very good (2 stacks of rune mages)
I usually cast armaggedon lvl. 2, spawn demons with Demo, then clone 2 stacks and summon as well, then just let the demons weaken the enemy and resurrect some troops with the maiden and 2 remaining clones of Demo before enemies get crushed by the summoned demons and clones.
