In the beginning I made the mistake of building some backline trenches for retreating wounded units. I held the centre against their left flank by sleeping in trenches while being poisoned and blind, while my left flank slowly chewed through their right flank (quite literally in case of some plague units). The other war was my two dwarf and plague armies against two stacks + two units of amazons. And I learned that you can't trench before punching, because they can punch too. It was a fun game of 'which trench flanks which trench', that also involved a lot of punching them in the open and shooting them with psy. This one ended with one surviving trencher and one fish fighting three trenchers on a battlefield littered with trenches. In one war my isolated new island colony with one army reinforced by a floating swarm of psyfish was trying to fight against two dwarf armies and their militia. Strategically they can interact well with neutral sides and also get some quite strong defensive options.īut the key as always is to look at your combination and figure out which parts you want to form your strategy. Ops are more defensive and can be quite strong for their cost, especially the heals and allow you to time out certain units to a degree.

The Lightbringer is a good mlee infantry, and an jump right inthe middle of ranged attackers, the starguide is a healer/buffer and the enlightened teacher gives your whole troop resurgence among other abilities. The units fill multiple roles, depending on your needs. Also plenty abilities interact with either. Enlightned untis have a morale buff and inflict extra damage against soulburned units, which is adebuff you have multiple ways to inflict. All its mods confer it and all celestian units have it, the star guide can even give it for a battle. It depends, liek all secret techs it has multiple facest.
