HELP: Ermor, Broken Empire (Middle Age)

[Belcarl]

If you go with Black servants, you really need to put an anti magic amulet on them. Otherwise even independents will banish them pretty darn quick.

A Black servant with a Doom glaive, Fire plate, anti magic amulet makes a good thug. Thats quite a bit of gem investment in one lvl 1 summon though.

Or maybe Im just paranoid, after having lost 3 of these to an independent lvl 1 priest in my last game on turn 12...

Can someone tell me what a thug is? I've figured out what a SC is but still not sure what thug means. It seems like a regular unit with lots of magical artifacts equipped? Sort of a mini-SC?

[Endoperez]

Exactly that. Sort of a mini-SC.
