So I'm shooting for a strong/large army supported by a lot of battle enchantments and evocations, any suggestions as to race/tactics? And, to keep this thread from being completely narcissistic, what sorts of meta-themes do you guys prefer usually? Y'know, themes based on military strategy rather than what units you're using, like hordes of cheap infantry supported by powerful cavalry and stuff like that. My personal fave is sound army headed by powerful warrior-commanders decked out in lots of magic items (read: Vanheim/Mictlan devils.) So how about you guys?

Gosh, that is a pretty broad question! It is also pretty tough to answer without going into specific units and nations. Getting a strong army backed with good magic is pretty much the essence of the game (unless you are Iron Faith Ulm). Any answer I can think of is too broad to be of use or too specific to a race. Can you narrow your question down a bit for us?

As a general strategy, I'm fond of massed long-range missile fire supporting heavy cavalry flankers, plus "artillery" spells if I've got access to them. I've tried this with Man, Marignon, Pangaea, and T'ien C'hi, and I'm currently playing a SP game as Ermor this way, using indy archers and woodsmen behind longdead cavalry.

Also is this for a SP game or a MP game ?

yes, we need more info

Agh, sorry guys. Let me clarify.
Large army, not necessarily powerful units, but above militia-level units, augmented by friendly enchantments. I'm hoping on developing an army of otherwise unexceptional troops that become formidable with a bunch of spells. (I know, I was hella vague when I typed that. I don't usually think of making a large army when I'm playing, just a couple contingents of really experienced troops and a lot of PD. XD)
Oh, and it's on a single player game.
