What are your favorite troops?

[dukenukem]

hi everbody.

As for me,in the beginning of the game i prefer swordmens because they have physical resistance.

in the middle of the game i prefer sea dogs because they have multiattack property.

And during most of game i prefer king snakes because they have retaliation property and good speed.

And i prefer red dragons because they have line attack.

and i think best creature is human knights.Because they have good physical and fire resistance,good helath,line attack ability, and with warrior you can descrease their leadership...thanks

They also are immune to magic meaning you can't cast sacrifice/resurrect/any buff on them

Best unit in the game is simply the VAMPIRE. Life sucking is best ability in the game, and if there was "counterstrike" spell like in HoM&M series they would be simply indestructible.

Early game:

Griffins (great initiative, speed, flight, unlimited retaliation, good hit points)
Royal Snakes (tough, hit hard, no retailiation, two-hex range strike)
Inquisitors (two great abilities - rage, resurrection)
Evil Beholders (good ranged attack, hypnotize)
Dwarven Cannoneers (ranged attack does extra damage to structures)

Once I can get them, I'll swap out the snakes for Orc Shamans (totem, tough melee unit), keeping the snakes in reserve, so I can swap them back in at need.

Later on I try to swap the Dwarven Cannoneers for Elves or Hunters. And I'll often swap the Griffins for Horsemen. I haven't made it any further, so I can't comment on late game units.

If you want to go with undead, I recommend Skeleton Archers (if you don't mind taking lots of losses before you have Time Back), and Vampires (especially Ancient Vampires). Inquisitors don't mind undead, but unfortunately, most of the other good ranged units do, so you'll need Tolerance to add in a good mix of ranged units.

I tend to find most Level 5 units are overpriced for what they give - giants are fun, but at 1,600 leadership each, each one costs the same as 26 royal snakes. Ent are nice, but way too slow. Same with Royal Thorns - a 1 Speed is hard to live with.

hello all.
My Fav. army is Polar bear (good health and good attacking) coz we can hire a lot of them.
Inquisitor.(resurection)
Griffin (good health and can split)
but army that i want is Horse man. i can't find them. I've already in level 11 and in the middle of the quest with Dwarve.

they sell the horseman as you described it right next to greenwort castle. Unfortunately its defended heavily and not worth losing troops to get it.

The troops guarding the tent, however, can be bypassed. Just lure them out and get the troops.
