Sauromatian units

Errr, I'm at work now and can't look at the stats, but it seems like when I looked at the Androphag and Oiorpatas the Oiorpatas had a little better stats for the money, and 1 or 2 points in defense and protection really make a difference when they're high. Plus they have higher movement which gives a bonus to the lance first strike (and easier flanking). I did, however, forget about the free lizard so maybe I'll have to take another look. Are they sacred?

For communion slaves I'd recommend considering Enaries over Soothsayers. If Enaries (or Witch Kings don't - forget sabbath master) are the communion masters you're going to end up with a lot of death spells cast (raise dead in particular after your scripting runs out), and the Soothsayers with no death paths are gonna pop pretty fast. You're better off having 2 Enarie communion slaves than 4 Soothsayers under those conditions...4 Enarie slaves and you can raise undead until the cows come home.
