At the moment it's Zamzummites. The best non-cap-only battlemages I have ever seen. (Well, Druids might be on the same level, and Ktonian Necromancers are quite close.)

Ktonians are cap-only. Bakemono Sorcerers are not though, and they are totally *****en; with the right spells, they can be out-of-the-box thugs. If there was a way to remove their old-age, they'd be top-notch.

EDIT: I just noticed, someone else already noted this, in response to the same post none-the-less. that's what I get for posting before reading the entire thread.

We are discussing favorite, and not best? Then for favorite, Sacred Hydras. They are like lawnmowers.

These guys are hands-down the scariest recruitable unit. en masse, they can be a match for SCs. A single legion (about 20) of them can massacre armies of hundreds, even big powerful blessed armies of hundreds. The only way I've found to kill something like that is by exploiting the auto-rout or killing their leaders. Make sure they have no where to run to either (auto-kill), because any victory will by Pyrrhic, and you don't want to fite that again. At least that's been my experience with them.

They single-handedly make any nation who has access to them a powerhouse.
