Re: I have a question about Satyrs
Lance absorbers, perhaps? Or fodder for Haunted Forest, Life After Death, Carrion Reanimation, Soul Drain, or the Ankh?

The 3 basic 10 gold satyrs all suck. The one with javelins is better than the other two, but I would never build them, except possibly during early expansion where Javelins can be very effective.

Yes I agree...
the satyrs do suck.

Re: I have a question about Satyrs
More patrollers? I dunno, I'm never quite happy unless I've spent every Last resource point

Re: I have a question about Satyrs
Oftentimes cannon fodder is very useful.
Or, if places in the rear with Hold and Attack, they can arrive when the enemy has a bunch of fatigue, but they are fresh, and so suddenly can compete with better units. Numbers help.
I've even done some good damage with Mictlani slaves (!!) ... when they arrive at just the right time. Actually, I have quite a few elite-2 Mictlani slaves (which still stink worse than Satyrs, but it's interesting). They always serve to at least distract the enemy for a while, and when then usually run away, the survivers end up getting to be experienced.

Excellent! Another arrow for the quiver. What a brilliant way to mix things up.

Re: I have a question about Satyrs
Sartyr = Suck
Sartyr + Maenads + (Mass)Protection = impressive, but ultra-cheap force
I agree about type1, though - it's absolutly useless, even for patrolling, as you'll use Harpies for that.
