Alexander's Ever-Expanding Tome of Knowledge, pt 2

[Horst F. JENS]

not so cool like the Kraken, but maybe useful for new players (got this from dom2 thread):

If you get Elephants or other big units, your main fear is that those beasts rout and trample over your own troops.
Avoid that by placing an nature mage in the square over (north of) the Elephant and let him cast Beserk.
Set the Elephant on "Hold and Attack". Note that the Elephant will attack as soon as become berserked. If possible, have an Astral mage in the same square as the Nature mage cast Body Etheral and/or Luck.
Cast any buff spell that has short range and Area of Effect of 1 square.

You can replace each Elephant with 2 cavalry units.
Place mages in the combat squares north and south of each Elephants, casting buffs.
Enjoy the sight of unbreakable, etheral (75% chance to avoid hit) Elephants trampling over your enemys.
