RoRlum (Late Caelum)

I don't usually play Caelum.

But usually, sending in anything but Mamoths of their standard troops in melee is trouble. Since their infantry is quite fragile compared to their cost.

So use archers, and a _lot_ of Caelian seraphs. With evocation level 2 you should be able to spamm lightning all over the enemy turf.

Later on, add one or two Harab elders with Thunderstrike (lvl 4 evo) to this.

I haven't tried this yet, but placing a storm general a bit ahead of your serapths with a couple of earthbounds set on guard commander should give you 2-3 more combat turns for your archers and mages to take down any even sized enemy. Their protection is high enough, 19, that they should be able to withstand enemy archer fire.

I'll try that, the Groundbounds are excelent units.

Feels a bit of a downer that as RoR I must use Caelian Seraphs to succeed. Ah well.

Anyone tried Corpse Man Construction (AD, 1 gem)? RoR has mages (Harab Sepaphs w/ AD) and gem income to produce them using the Lightning Rod (E, 5 gems). Can't remember what it was in dom2 (never used!) but now 1 air gem nets you 4 of them buggers.

you have also a bonus with Corpse Man Construction with a staff of storm, and another with an unique book (5A 5D I think)

Corpse Man are a good cannon fodder, immune to poison lightning and good morale : they are pretty useful mixed with mammouths

Holy crap, a 13-month-old thread. I thought Nerfix was back

This thread title sounds like something Scooby Doo would say.
