Unlikely tactics, niche tactics, and specialized tactics.

[K]

Ok, what are tactics that you've seen that seem to work despite being counter-intuitive or just plain weird? What are tactics from your games that only seem to work in almost unique situations? Name some tactics that you use that no one seems to pick up on.

I'll start:

-For a nation that gets fire-resistant troops, three flame drakes on Fire Closest and a starting army can usually take an indie province with no losses.

-Body Ethereal is a great spell to spam if you have elephants since it is very likely to hit them if they are grouped with a mage and they survive much longer when ethereal.

-Indie commanders spamming spells from items is often one of the best "kills to gems expended" ratios.
