That's great, thanks all. Lots of things I hadn't considered before, now to try them out!

I've been playing Caelum in one MP game for a while, and to be honest, I haven't found much use for the flying infantry. I use a combination of Mammoths and Blizzard Warriors (archers) which is pretty devastating against independents - and against other players in larger numbers. I'm thinking about using Raptor clan warriors for hit-and-run attacks sometime soon.

I on the contrary find the flying infantry to be utmost crucial for Caelum. I think its all about the ability to pick your fights, run/strike when outnumbered/outnumbering. Believe me it can be quite frustrating fighting an enemy who just won't, well, fight - its like catch me if you can game.

I must agree that harassing with squads of flying units by raiding behind the enemy lines is an effective tactic.

If you get 2-3 squads gobbling up a territory every turn, setting the tax rate to 200%, it becomes very frustrating for the nation being raided.
