Been playin this game many years now
and its fun to see all the insight on this great game.
My "cheap" unit that I have found nothing to beat is dwarven hammerhands. Just keep starting over till you get placed by some "purple crystals" (dunno the name, been callin em purple crystals forever, adatimate or somethin like that
) Well the attack bonus on these puppies and hammerhands make these units crush anything in their way, untouchable when they gain more levels, and if you are a warlord and they can gain that extra level... watch out.
