Theocrats also have Exalted, with tier 2 level stats but the powerful Convert and Touch of Faith abilities.įinally, Rogue and Sorcerer with Succubus and Node Serpent. The Exalted on the other hand has Resurgence, which is a big deal. Personally I think the Shaman is trash tier 3, and might even be an average tier 2. Only the Phalanx matches up with abilities though - boasting Inflict bleeding wounds, First strike and Shield, but no Tireless or Wall climbing.Īrchdruid and Theocrat have more mobile units - the Free movement Shaman and flying Exalted respectively. Obviously he's vulnerable to non-melee damage though.īut this isn't even considering class tier 3 units.ĭreadnought's Golem and Warlord's Phalanx/Warbreed stack up pretty well against the Shock Trooper in terms of battle prowess. His abilities combined with high HP/Defence and high damage make him a force to be reckoned with. Personally my favourite is Shock Trooper. Big Beetle has Wall climbing and Overwhelm.Shock Trooper has Overwhelm, Wall climbing, Inflict bleeding wounds, and Tireless.Flyer has Charge, Overwhelm and Fast healing.Firstborn has Strong will, Wall climbing, Giant + Dragon slayer, and Fire/Spirit Immune.So not really any huge differences, apart from Shock Trooper's low resist, and Firstborn's low moves. Resistance from 9 (Shock Trooper) to 12 (Gryphon and Firstborn). Firstborn lead with 15 melee + 3 fire, followed by Big Beetle with 14 melee and 3 poison.ĭefense from 12 (Gryphon, Flyer, Big Beetle) to 14 (Firstborn). Melee attacks are 15 (Gryphon) up to 17 (Shock Trooper). Movement ranges from 28 (Firstborn) to 36 (Knight and Big Beetle). HP they range from 64 (Draconian Flyer) to 70 (Firstborn, Knight and Shock Trooper). In terms of racials, there isn't a huge amount of difference stat-wise between them: they're more defined by their abilitites.
