My favorite troops to buy are actually City Guard. They are relatively cheap in terms of gold and resources (10 gp, 13 res) and provide a decent meatshield. I usually complement them with a few falchioneers scattered in, though I'm not sure how effective those guys are.

Hmm, ok, it seems like I got carried away by thinking that it makes no sense buying city guards if I can by swamp guards for +2GP. Then I found out that I cannot produce a large number of swamp guards due to a lack of resources and thus switched to elite warriors...
...especially since in an older thread about C'tis generally concluded that Falchioneers are strictly inferior to elite warriors, but it simply makes no sense to raise elite warriors monocultures...
I also think that order+3, sloth+3, heat+2 is sensible for miasma. Especially sloth+3 seems pretty thematic to me, but this restricts the building capacities of the vegetarian troops, especially with an hill-fortress, which is not easily spammed everywhere for decentral production...
