Did you try the KOA against non blessed niefels? I do not think Koa's are special use only. I try to get a pack of 20-30 together over several turns, and they have steamrolled about everything they have faced.

Now, that is sp, so they have not run up against human made sc's. But they do take out mammoths, giants, summer lions, without too much trouble. They rarely break, have fantastic speed to kill anything trying to run, and they heal up their wounds, so by mid game they can be full health with 3-4 exp starts each. Most of mine in the present game have 4 stars, and i gift of reason one, and made him a commander. Man should have had a mounted commander, but with gift of reason it is no big deal that they do not, since the KOA makes a good commander, especially with 4 exp stars.

Also, while the koa cant be blessed, mass protection and mass regen gives then 2 regen, and 23 armor. And most of man's casters can cast those.
