Default Re: Newbie question: Best army buff paths/schools?
Gotta disagree about Destruction, in part because it only affects 5-6 squares and partly because Svartalf precision is... less than stellar. When the enemy is far away, you have a good chance of missing the main body (hitting maybe 3-6 troops) and when the enemy is close you have the potential to break your own guys' armor. At least, I haven't been impressed by Destruction in the past, even though it looks nice on paper. Note that I'm not saying I've only got 15 Hirdmen per army--I've got a few armies of 22 to 50--and Strength of Giants scales better with army size than Destruction.
