Didn't Alex mention he had success using big armies of LI javelin backed by a Lizard King and a couple of sacred serpents.

Yes I believe he did mention that, which was why I was questioning him further about his stance that the Elite warriors were the way to go...

I do not doubt their efficacy, I just want more discussion than simple statements stating they are the 'only' or 'best' way to go.

Anyway, I've had good success using LI and SGs early, then later adding in Poison Slingers and Serpents. The SGs are fairly solid and my loses with them leading a charge are quite low, the only time I have problmes is when the LI get a bit ahead of the SGs, or draw *alot* of missile fire. The slingers are great at pelting the enemy HI and weakening them so they die faster when the serpents and SGs reach them (or vice versa). I suppose the warriors may be more effective than the SGs at getting a rout since they do more damage quickly, but they will be vulnerable to your javalins and to enemy missiles while they are on their way.

Oh well, I'll have to see how it works out for myself I guess. The bigger question with a lower gold environment is which strategy is more sustainable I suppose.
