Best units

[Elhazzared]

Let's discuss what are the better units you can get from whatever race and why you like them.

Up to now the weavers were by far my favorite unit, I mean, doom bolt and still have mana left for 5 shots? Oh and missile immunity too which is pretty nice. Yeah, I was always going, sign me up for those beauties.

Until I triped today on an AI draconian wizard whoi had doom drakes which are now my favorite. He can get them at level 7 at least not sure if the player can too but I imagine it's possible.

Anyway doom drakes have been buffed like crazy. They are not a 3 drake unit rather than 2. Thus their damage potential is pretty high. Decent accuracy (lower on he fire breath but high on the melee attack), high AC and really high life (over 230 at level 7 which is enough to eat 4 doom bolts and still survive in a sliver of health). Someone at WI must love draconians :) This is now definitly the best unit in the game... Oh I forgot to mention but it's pretty much obvious, it's a draconian unit, it flies and with 5 movement.

Well, draconians are next on the list for me!

I'm with you on the weavers, some habits are hard to shed. I've been Doom Bolt happy since MoM though. I still have to back the over-enchanted wardens while we're on the dark elf topic. Moving from WoM to PC, it takes a few of them and you have to now back them up with enforcers, but to me it's more realistic this way instead of the lone ranger in WoM which you kept from start to finish.

I'm going to have to give my set of Paladins some honorable respect before I go. Picked them both up from taverns for 600gp, and they are solid in all respects. I never save before a fight if I have one in my army. Just having those two spells on hand, 170-ish life, and the patience to wait for a softened up unit to charge on seems to get there.

Wardens still work for the most part. heroism + unholy weapon + blessed weapon. They are weaker now because of the lack of giant strength, still haven't heard from the devs as to what happened to it.

Paladins are ok I guess. I feel their damage is low due to only having 2 figures and their HP is also not high enough for me to be confortable. The aura they have is about the best thing about them and I guess the spells ain't bad too.

[KillDawg]

Agreed, about the paladins. Seriously though, I'm pleasantly surprised at how well they perform even though it looks as though they shouldn't.

[Elhazzared]

It's the aura that helps.
