Not just stat-wise, but also appearance-wise with Tibbles' mod, where humans are stuck with the plain boring standard style units.

It's a pity that human Berserkers or Manticores just aren't as cool as the Tigran or Orc versions.

And human Knights are nothing to sniff at either, with Warlord upgrades. which in the late game the Warlord's units might get automatically. Human Priests in particular are the perfect complement to Warlords: spirit damage, healing, buffing, and they get daze on gold medal. The free production is good for anyone, and they have generally well rounded units with healing supports.Races with healing do have a much easier start, which then translates to a strong mid and late game. Your Martyrs will evolve into Exalted (and they keep the Absorb pain ability this way) sometime before and you'll arrive while they're still just getting to/starting to research into T3 most likely.įinally, if you want to know the real secret: Human (and Dwarf) are virtually always a good choice when you don't know what you're up against. You basically have to scout everything early while building enough to 1 turn Martyrs, build a load of them, then clear every camp/site/tomb on your way to your enemy's base. This allows you to go for a strategy where you don't research any class units past Crusaders, pump out 2-3 stacks of Martyrs and evolve them all into Exalted (Tier 3 flier with Resurgence). Halfling Theocrat - Adventurers (and Martyrs!) have a triple ranged attack unlike all other starting irregulars. (Tier 3 Chariots with Teleport and a Frost Nova that stuns and breaks guard) The White Witch unit turns into one of the most fearsome units on the field and Frost Queens are just downright silly. Sorcerers can give their supports Stuns, Teleport, and Projectile resistance. Frostling Sorcerer - The basic idea here is support spam backed by Phantasm Warrior summons.
