Questions regarding my strategies

A common mistake overall (even late game) is to forget the importance of a mixed army of troops, mages, thugs and perhaps a SC. I often see people using a troop only army, maybe backed up with a few evocation horny mages, that are trying to deal with a single SC - and get slaugthered. Then focusing on their own SC to try to counter the other one, only to get killed by it. The result is usually that they resign after a couple of turns.

Adapting is key. If someone throws SCs, you toss in SC killing spells...if someone has tons of chaff, you toss in archers or big evokers.....if someone tosses in lots of mages, you use battlefield-destroying spells....the lists of tactics and potential counters is what makes this game so rich.
