Morale is the main reason why I build Jotun Huskarls (spear) and Jotun Spearmen, exclusively. The spears, while doing less damage than axes, are useful for repel. I've noticed that my spear-carriers tend to outLast my axemen.

I command the troops with Jarls, until I have expanded enough (20-25 turns) to have excess cash and can then justify buying Godes. Plus the Jarls can command more troops. I have no use for Herses. I prefer sacred commanders, which can also build temples in a pinch.

My mages sit at home and research, research, research (occasionally making research-boosting items as my gem income permits) until I reach a point (about turn 40-50) when I begin to run out of things I think are worth the effort to study. At which point I begin to crank out combat items and/or send the mages out with troops of their own to assist the Jarls/Godes at my borders.

As for the pretender? I use the Son of Niefel. I mainly use him as a mage, but also as a SC as needed.

Please bear in mind that I have zero experience in playing Dom in MP. But the above technique has worked quite well for me in SP. YMMV.

My 2gp worth.


Cheers!
