Ulm - what items do you build w/Smiths?

Bob - seriously, no need to keep ranting. You made a point, many didn't believe you. Play the follow-on games, see what happens, have fun. But no need to troll here.

To throw this back on-track - anybody ever used the black lords as weak thugs?

Seconded the opinion. It's a shame too because Bob's posts does have qualities that dictate he does understand MP pretty well though possibly with slight biases.

Yes, they can be effective under certain circumstances, but that low MR is a killer. Still, it doesn't take very much to let them solo a decent amount of PD - fire brand + barkskin amulet can often be enough. They can also add a whole lot of offense to your solid defensive lineup (3 or 4 with fire brands on the flanks while your infantry holds the line do pretty well). Just remember, no matter what you do they're gonna be fairly expendable....

PD IS USELESS! DON'T LISTEN!

Ok Bob now the trolling is just getting silly, seriously.
