Re: Units seldom used.
Hey what a great thread. Wauthan, you are excellent; I wanted to ask very similar questions, but yours are more precise. I'd also like to add 2 or three to the list.
- Pertaining to the question on Humanbreds: Does anybody *ever* play "Blood of Humans" on Abysia, and if so -- why? With all other "special themes" of the other nations, there are either new and different neato troops or certain drawbacks and new advantages. But what is the deal with BoH? I find it the only theme to be somewhat flavorless, and I see no new goodies in it except more ... humanbreds and less ... demonbreds. But why would I want that?
- People have already pointed out that Humanbreds make ok bodyguards; I'd just like to say "yes", and name the reason: they dont radiate heat, which will otherwise kill your Druids and other recruited commanders, as well as your non-fire-proof pretender, should you have one.
- Salamanders can be ok for clearing out weako indies with lots and lots of militia or soulless or something else. Unfortunately, they still die nicely to a stray arrow, and their moral is nothing to shout about. And they are not particularly useful against human opponents. And their upkeep makes me cry. If only their upkeep were reduced, I would make them. If they were sacred, say, for +X (15?) gold, would that be a cool mod? Or otherwise keep as is and make them -X (-20?) gold?
- villians: if anyone made a mod which made villians interesting, I would be grateful. Conceivably they would have to be re-nerfed for Black Forest however?
- I would like to use spider riders, but never have, because I also cant see their raison d'etre.
- I also havent figured out how to use Einheres and Skinshifters well, but that's just me.
- Horsemen (Spring and Autumn), I started a thread on these guys a while back, but also didnt receive any responses hinting at their great potential. 8 Precision for 30 gold and otherwise light cav stats.
