Tonight's observation...

I found that the crossbows were very useful as well. You "hold and attack" while the bless goes off, which allows them to fire their first volley and reload. They then advance with your commander into the melee, with the chaff having already soaked up the first assault. They cut through enemies slowly but surely with their great swords and the Lord Warden can be given nice Thug status with a few basic enchanted items. And then, as bonus, when the enemy routs, you get to unload your crossbows on them again to make up for the fact that your armor slows you down.

I want for late era man as much money as possible, so i do not do a bless strat .

Imho their magister arcane are quite good. And their defender and tower guard units are excellent too.
Imho the defender is the best humanoid late era infantry unit .

I had no problem with money with a bless strat, Boron. Keep in mind that LE Man takes NO penalty from Drain scale. You can max out Drain and pump it into Order and still have a great Dominion and Bless strategy, especially if you go dormant or imprisoned.

I'm just saying it's not either/or. ;-)

Speaking of money, I find it really strange to have more money on turn 2 than on the previous turn, even after spending all the starting gold on units...

...this is going to take some time to get used to...

...*tshich* "heroic stupidity"... ...awwww....
