[Fantomen]

My strategy is based around two concepts and a water/astral bless.

The sneakers: The Erdefreunds, tierfreunds and hoburg militia. These units have great synergy as stealth raiders I think. Your Erdefreunds can stealth preach *and* cause unrest *AND* lay down earth buffs with earth boots/earthpower! Iron warriors is AOE 1 and each casting on size 1 hoburgs means 6 prot 20 tierfreunds quickened with twist fate and magical strong poison weapons. Support these frontliners with a host of high precicion slingers (the militia, yes there´s your slingers!) and destruction spam. Scales up to even greater nastiness with blood stones and marble warriors. Add in that these squads are dirt cheap and can pick their fights. Let your horticulturists tag along as self quickened, eagle eyed archers as soon as you get some decent bows forged.

The army: You have recruit everywhere sacreds in the wolkfreunds. High morale, defense(14>18 w bless), protection, shields and magic resistance(14>17 w bless) and twist fate. These are cheap enough and can hold the line even late in the game. From behind those your strong earth mages rips the enemies armor to shreds while your uncountable hordes of high precicion crossbows thickens the air with a deadly rain. Add in your nature component for eagle eyes(mandatory!) and charm, wooden warriors, relief, swarm etc.

You might get a A2 Vererht Obstgaertner for wind guide and/or F2 for flaming arrows.

Base prec 12 + Eye of aiming + Eagle eyes + Blade wind + Destruction = you do the math...

Stealth preaching is a workable strategy in itself too.

I haven´t gotten into the late game yet.
