Kissblade put up a Patala guide, some of the suggestions may apply for BL:

I'd certainly agree with his assessment that your pretender needs to be out getting his or her hands dirty to compensate for BL's crappy troops. The Log sacreds strike me as worthless. The only time I'd want a tiger rider over an elephant is against soul slay, in which case I'd much rather have 5 other troops instead of either. 10 HP, 11 MR, non stealthy troops for 100 gold? Thanks, but no. The white one warriors are pretty mediocre as well.
Oh, and don't forget to abuse your elephants.
