Sauromatian units

[Dedas]

The Hydra Tamer
Have anyone found a use for this unit? I know he is the only commander with poison resistance in the Sauromatian arsenal, but besides that he pretty much stinks. He cannot lead more than 10 units and he doesn't have any armor. Could you perhaps outfit him somehow to make him useful?

I believe he is meant to lead the hydras into battle but the Soothsayer does it so much better. With a ring of poison resistance he can also cast body ethereal on the hydras.


The Soothsayer
Pros

- Astral magic (1). Though the Enarie also has it but for 150 gold.
- Cancels bad events in the province he visits. How high is this bonus anyways? But the Enarie can do this too.
- Comes with a ring mail cuirass.
- Good at leading and buffing hydras. Needs poison resistance first.

Cons

- Starts with old age.
- 70 gold for 3rp when the Spirit Guide cost 60 gold for the
same research. So not a good researcher. Is this unweighed by the "cancels bad event" ability?
- Comes with a ring mail cuirass. But what use is it really? It costs resource points.

How do you use these units?



Anyone thought of good blesses for this nation?
