Poll: morale and routing

Which is less than 1 kill per turn on average, thanks to glamour, which means that they certainly can't kill many enemy troops at all.

While I agree with you about troops being useful this does not really support your case as 1/turn is still 40 say each.

I just defeated 2 airqueens with a 30 illithids & 15 mages army by paralysing them & enslaveing them. So troops here were good. But I think SCS are powerful in 2 aspects

1) they provide a massive boost in combat power to a conventional army - if the 2 above queens had had along 40 troops the troops would have soaked a lot of fire allowing the AQS to cause mahem.

2) They are great as very mobile raiders. This is my main complaint against them not raw combat power. They are just so much more easy to turn into flyers & fliers are so strong operationally. It is like the German Panzer Divisions/Corps/Armies in WWII (to get back to the tanks we all love) that as well as being the most powerful units used their mobility to do most of the fighting, at least in the mobile phases.

While I have not played enough yet to see if it is a problem I have given & received blitzkriegs facilitated by massed fliers.
