Summon ancestral warrior(or spirit, do not recall the exact name) does miracles, until shamans.ĭid I say Shamans are a key unit for the Archdruid Success? A stack of Shamans is, most likely, the most fearsome force in the Universe.The entangling touch is no 1 danger, they are tough enough to survive a failure and they can deliver good damage, as well.Īn Archdruid is benefited by racial diversity, because Shamans of different races get a different type of ranged attack. The animals are expendable and do a great job with the class's empire upgrades.Īlso, the Archdruid is the only class(if I am not mistaken) with combat summons. After Shamans, though, the race becomes irrelevant and the hunters even more. Until Shamans, though, things may be a bit tough. The free production is good for anyone, and they have generally well rounded units with healing supports.Between Shamans, Call the Horde and Call Lightning(Horned Gods) I have steamrolled everything when playing Archdruids. 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.
