Could you please give me an example or two of this? With non pretender scenarios

Re: Best Unit in the Game... Any thoughts?
 

Flame storm hits 40 squares(which would hold 120 human units) with a strength 15+AP fire attack. Shimmering Fields hits 50 squares with 10+AN shock damage. Rain of Stones hits the entire battlefield with 14 mundane damage and earthquake does the same with 8AP damage. Wrathful Skies(in a storm) hits a certain %(might be 10%) of the squares on the battlefield every turn with a powerful shock attack. Fire storm and astral tempest are both powerful battlefield enchantments. Master Enslave, when cast by a powerful mage with penetration items, can enslave a large portion of the enemy army in a single casting and as an odd example bloodletting, a spell requiring only 4 blood magic and 4 slaves, does 1AN damage(MR negates) over the whole battlefield and adds damage done to the mages life force which means a few mages casting it at a very large army could keep going until it was decimated.

I am particularly fond of illusionists myself, also Caelums A2W1 flying mages.

The best units are not your end game mega stuff but ones that you use the majority of the game to get you there.

So the very best units are useful in the early, midgame and endgame.

My favorite unit in the game is Cthulhu.

Re: Best Unit in the Game... Any thoughts?
 

Argh! Stop with the misleading statements HB!

Re: Best Unit in the Game... Any thoughts?
 

Its not Cthulhu, its Hastur. The cthulhu rules say if you speak his name 3 times he comes and destroys the town.

-- The DM hands you a piece of paper which says that you see carved into the tabletop of the bar...
"For a good time call Hastur".
What do you do?

Re: Best Unit in the Game... Any thoughts?
 

Yes, I could tell you're new with the game when you mentioned Eater of the Dead being powerful. Based on the cost of gems and what it does in battle... it's one of the worst deals in the game. It's a strong unit yet way way over priced and never worth considering in a multiplayer game.
