I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who considers an extra hero as early as turns 1 or 2, especially since I play with Reclaimers. As you mentioned, Reclaimers also allows me to take advantage of your points regarding healing and summoning abilities by crafting 2 wands to summon spiders and 1 wand for the 30+ HP heal with the 200 Binding Essence that's given to you.

Thank you. Been needing this

Astral imperiums can abuse scouts to taunt enemy to attack and then spam strong combat spells like chain lightning while kiting. You can generate good value by only sacrificing scouts.

Very helpful Thankyou - a guide on movement and teleporting units would be great too

Icon you are much appreciated! Thank you for putting this out, very useful tips when the AI odds are stacked against us!

Here's a build suggestion for you: High culture undead build, with a split between shadow and order tomes (pretty much all of the undead focused shadow tomes, with wightborn as main goal there, so that shadowbinding reduces the upkeep of your undead mainline troops), while order tomes are up to choice, depending on if you want more damage/burst (the zeal focused tomes, like Zeal and inquisition and subjugation), or more sustain/defense/army size with the faithful focused tomes. For body traits, I went with the one that reduces status duration, and increases resistance (forgot the name), and either elusive (so you take less damage from counters) or ferocious (so you deal more damage with your counters) (body traits are still kinda up for change, haven't really played around with that too much) Culture traits are the one that gives you bonus combat casting points for every BM/Supporter on your side, and I think the reduced summon cost? (second one could be wrong, haven't played this particular build in a while, been trying all of your other builds lately ^^) You could also go for scions of evil, if you want a slightly faster way to reach pure evil, so that all of your units start battle in awakened mode This particular build has 3 main ways to play it: 1) swarm the enemy with endless hordes of very cheap tier 1 units, like skeletons and zealots. If entire armies die, you can simply replace them immediately. 2) go VERY heavy on diplomacy/vassals thanks to both order and shadow trees, you will get MASSIVE bonuses from having vassals, and an easier time acquiring them. Then leaning back and watching as your vassals do all the fighting for you. 3) be more late-game focused, again with many vassals, but this time using the order tree to get more gold, knowledge and imperium from vassals, so you can afford entire armies of tier 4 and 5 units (and get to the relevant tomes WAY before anyone else) Oh, and P.S.: Your voice is much easier to hear in these recent videos, didn't have to crank up the volume at all 🙂

Great vid!

so start off with 3 tier one army and as the tier two or better comes along replace them, also yea even on normal i noticed turn 2 hero is very good. Then again i play with both dragons and infetions spelling on so you can get more xp and boy you need to keep them in check lol.

would u recommend to unite some heros in endgame with hero cap 7
