Default Re: Need help with Man strategy

Forester cheap sneak --- great patroller
monk cheap sneak --- can preach while hidden in enemy territory and can lead 10
bard cheap sneak --- can instill uprisings in enemy territory and can lead 10

have you chosen a pretender yet? Scales? Man/Sidhe is a good choice for blessings.
sidhe champion sneak mage&priest --- can lead 50
cu sidhe sneak fast sacred
doaine sidhe sneak sacred

Do we see a pattern yet? I cant believe how many people play this race without using the sneaks. This just wasnt created for "my army meets your army" type of play. Its made for "bring your army. my army is already past yours and headed to your inlands"

"Call of the Wild" can be used to take nearby provinces that appear weakly protected. Or bolster your troops in the field by casting it on yop of you. They can be good flankers set to attack archers. The wolves can be assigned to other commanders and the werewolf leader left there set to "summon allies" creating more of them every turn. Or you can use them as yet another sneak army wandering around.

"Call of the Wind" is easier for you to use but they dont sneak. They can fly so they have some range for jumping around the map. The birds can be assigned to a local commander and the leader reused. As a delivery for equip, gems, slaves. Or give them an Amulet of Vengeance with orders to attack rearmost
