i used to play with barbarians all the time , but their thrown weapon is nothing when they fight paladins , i killed 9 berserkers with 2 or 3 paladins and no damage LOL , barbs are pretty weak later in the game even when behind a citywall , my tactic with barbs was usually to conquer some other races early on as soon as i got some decent army , so i could get a strong unit from another race
doombolts seem good for defense behind a wall , paladins can't attack them so if you place the doombolt where the opening in the wall is you are safe against certain attackers as long as no ranged attacks of course , but stagbeetles will destroy them and doombolts kind of suck if they attack , just my experience
for a wizard i love ariel or freya , maybe cause i don't like the other ones ... , but also cause of their spells in battle , paladin + iron skin and you have a unit that is almost unbeatable ... except indeed when you fight units with pierced armor like pikemen ... or ranged attacks with rocks
about heroes i am still thinking they are not that strong , but after a citywall they can kick behind with their ranged attacks esp if you have some other strong units to defend against melee attacks
i think overall you need a good strategy and there is no "unbeatable" unit , some are strong but they all have a weakness somewhere , even paladins or stagbeetles and i am sure warlocks have one too , you just need to find the right unit , same goes for the races , some are good early on and you need to use that advantage and others you want to make peace early on and wait for their "super unit"
but it's nice to hear strategies from others , i want to repeat my request though , is there anyone who can help me out with the multiplayer ... you can dl it from another site , the link is somewhere in this thread , but i am not sure how to do this and still looking for some players who want to try it too
