I've been playing this game a *LOT* & really like it especially the skirmish options for the custom scenarios "Aephers Earth", "Volcanoe Isle" & "Snowstorm". Best allround units have to be the Undead-Ceyah faction. They have low moral loss & once fully upgraded are insanely tough with no vulnerabilities.
Using 1 cavalry + 2 prophets + 1 hero, 6 lots of skeletons+prophet+(defiler or lich) & 4 lots of skelton archers+prophet+(defiler or lich) - with remianing heroes assigned. Get 1 army & use 2nd army to guard indvidual groups of the 1st. Roll these babies into battle & let the pyrotechnics explode!
The spells & shit in this game are very good - really looking forward to an expansion (hopefully). Even went out & bought this at Amazon for £4.99 used hee hee. Finally be able to quit looking for a NoCD for the v1.2.3 patch!
Tried Settlers 4 & Armies of Exigo but they just don't have the atmosphere of this great little RTS!
You wanted a Miracle, I give you the F. B. Eye !!
