A couple of playing hints (paladin).

I'm using this strategy with gryphons & tactics - 5 movement is usually sufficient to get you near enough to land a hit on one of the closer stacks and/or block other ranged creatures from shooting. The good thing with gryphons is they have endless retaliations.

I am using a fighter and have a similar strategy which seems to be working quite well.

I currently have the frog wife, snake boots and the upgraded snake helmet, so snakes for me are very good units. I move my stack of royal snakes ( who nearly always go first) half way accross the board, then cast phantom on them. The phantom snake stack them goes in front of the original and can reach any of the units on the other side. Because of my buffs it can do a fair bit of damage and because its a phantom i dont mind how much of a beating it takes.

I am very close to the end of the game now - level 28 and in the final land, and I am spamming Phantom every turn. Works very well with Knights (130 cap), I have found. Knight runs into the middle of the map, casts Phantom (about 50) which charge straight into the enemy. On Turn 1, the AI will pretty much swarm this unit which gives you time for ragebox/ranged units. Turn 2, out pops another 50 Knights.

Yep - do you guys realize that you are crating direct road to hell? ( Phantom will be taken as OVERPOWERED and with the next patch / update we are all doomed... well, as I was not trusting phantom due its low power from Homm 5, I didn't adopt this strategy right now )

[k9burn]

Bah, just use fireballs and lightning and mop up everything!

Sacrifice is my 'resurrect'.

Endless swordsmen anyone?
