Really? I've found that weapons of sharpness, flaming arrows, berserking, strength of giants, etc. definitely increases troop lethality. The reason I don't use them as often is problems with the battlefield AI to target the right group (for non battlefield AoE).

Right, sorry, Flaming Arrows is the obvious exception. I suppose I've always considered it more a "crossbowman-facilitated attack spell" than a troop buff. As for the other buffs, they're decent if you can get a combo going. Individually, they're seldom enough to dent a real SC's armor. And they're not a mere-mortals-only advantage, either. They're usually more effective on summoned thugs than on national troops. Then again, I don't usually play nation/pretender setups with easy access to knights, jotuns, centaur cataphracts and so forth, so I suppose I may just have been buffing the wrong troops.
