Fast human scoundrels are viable against T1 and T4 alike, plus careful use of nets help with XP farming for evolving shadow stalkers. Priests offer some much needed healing and anti-undead options. Good + Grimbeaks + Courtesan Ambassaders mean huge vassal income fast. Obviously, dreadnaught artillery, or steal enchant + mind control can mess this up quick, but it's basically impossible for the AI to beat once these stacks are up and running.ģ) Good Explorer Human Rogue: Again a case of everything fitting together. It's pretty good in general too besides the gimmick, as fire damage covers some of AD's weaknesses and the cheap support RG is useful for Shaman spam.Ģ) Orc Theocrat: everyone already knows how great that is, but it's amazing how everything seems to fit together when a tireless Shocktrooper with Touch of Faith and Instant Wrath charges foward, rendered unkillable by an extra hp Exalted Martyr sitting in the far back together with a battery of Orc Priests alternating between Cursing and healing the Exalted Martyr.

As the firebomb is the only medium range attack that can hit 6 hexes away, it can combine with the speed of Archdruid archers to do some extreme kiting/hit and run. Early snowballing ends the game before the AI or roamers come up with fun things to fight, while pure lategame strengths means too much generic boredom before the good stuff.Īs for some fun, though not necessarily that powerful synergies:ġ) Neutral Draconian Archdruid: You can use the Elder to buff the damage of the Flamer, taking advantage of the no damage falloff and AOE of the firebomb.

IMO, max SP fun is in strengths that you have to work for, and come online mostly in the midgame then further transition in the lategame. It's unfortunate that the strongest builds are inevitably for mass snowball and relentless aggression which is generally unfun against the AI.
