If we are talking about Dominions II, there is a word for the above: 'free xpt'.
There are so many, different ways of utterly defeating any of these with 50gems
and 1000g worth of resources, that making such combinations viable would require
changing Dominions II beyond recognition.

Against a good player, each of the above will win one fight, and survive an
additional turn while the enemy puts together a reaction force. The next time
it shows its nose outside of a castle, it will be obliterated.

Obviously you dislike this. I don't.
