Default Re: *Another ZOMGHOWDOIMAKEANARMYLIKETHIS? thread*

NTJedi covers things well, though I would also recommend the nature mage cast mass protection. Those extra points on everyone’s protection make a big difference in an army of normals.

You should also consider Gift of Health, as it will boost the hp of your units in friendly dominion. Thistle Mace is very helpful with the nature mages. Combine that with the morale bonus in friendly dominion and it adds up. You might want to consider building extra temples early to help ensure you are usually fighting with the home field advantage.

The scouts running you gems is critical and you will have to watch your supply line to labs. An army like this that runs out of gems at the same time it enters enemy dominion suddenly becomes very fragile. Tied to this, don’t give all your gems to the commander at once, as they tend to burn through them if they have them, often in ways I don’t approve of.

Finally, let me suggest your prophet be with the army. Fanaticism is a real help in keeping morale up. Make sure your prophet has enough holy power to cast it. The normals in this army will take damage and will have normal morale, so they will break sooner than the elite armies do.
