Just as an aside, one post mentions Elephants, but as a new player you may not know the tactic. Basically you just buy a squad of those big elephants and turn them loose on the enemy which are then promptly crushed underfoot. In order to keep your elephants from routing put them in the same group as hypaptists (those are the ones with high morale, right?) in like 3:1 or 4:1 hyp:elephant ratio. That tactic gives Arco some good firepower in the early game.

Late game of course thier versatile mages really put the hammer down. Great forgers too.

About Elephants, there's also a very good trick : cast BE, then Berserkers on them !
