Tip: Eternal Knights & Gift of Reason

[Adept]

If somebody happens to have the opportunity to do this for a screen shot, that would be cool. No Eternal Knights in any of the games I've currently got running.

I'd also be interested to hear what are these much better units you guys would rather GoR? Remember that my trick has fairly modest requirements, and produces some seriously tough commanders with decent gear.

Davanas :-D

Gargoyle makes a decent unit for GoR. The biggest weakness is low MR. The obvious Tartarians.

Sleeper, Banelord, Bane, Devil, various recruitable thugs. None of them need GoR.

Then by the time you have GoR there are plenty other options. I'm not saying eternal knights are bad, because they aren't. They're great units and GoRing them is fun, especially since they are mercs. But it's hardly a killer tactic.

To reiterate, I think most people tend to research Conjuration before Thamaturgy. So by the time you are able to cast Gift of Reason, I would imagine you'd have at least the mid-level Conjuration spells researched. And when you do that, there are going to be a lot of options.

Tarrasques. Iron Dragons are also good.

I'm trying to think of a suggestion that involves mundane troops, but nothing springs to mind. The problem is that most of the mundane troops who would be worthy of GoR also have a commander version that you can just recruit.

Hmmmm....

How about one of those nasty Hydras?
