flags are build for fire 9 thats it! Offcause there is other options aswell, but if fire shines anywhere its on the flags.

it has been discussed a few times try search the forum.

but it comes down to that flails has 2 attacks, and that the fire attack is good against hard to hit units , either high protektion or ethereals.

to keep the flags alive mix in some heavy inf in the front line.
and leave your archers home (or get some lightning blessing aswell)
