But do you really like SC in dominions2 ?

Since that ice devil has trample, it will never use its weapon attacks, and will never regain fatigue or health from them.

Are you sure about that? I thought tramplers were supposed to trample until AP ran out, then use weapons... is it bugged?

I agree about life drain. Being as it is now (drain life+fatigue) has following effect in MP games.
Players rush to summon SCs, then mass produce wraith swords/blood thorns to equip them.
It's very rewarding and efficient tactic.
So much that it has become a no brainner.

I think that taking away fatigue drain from drain life will have a real significant impact reducing SC tactics.

I also think that national troops and battle summons should be made cheaper. But this is only because I like epic battles. I want to see more armies made of varied troops that complement each other, backed by support units (mages. priests).

Currently in my typical MP game I have any number of small armies (usually one-four SCs) as my offensive force.

edit: wonder what are the devs planning to do about this on DOM-III

Yes I'm sure, and no, they never use their weapons unless the creature they are attacking is their size or larger.
