Poison Resistant Troops
Hey, another question for you all: Assuming I were to go the ethereal hydra route, for a moment. And keeping in mind the paths that are generally available to LA pyth...
What poison res unit should I use to fill out the ranks of that army?

Re: Poison Resistant Troops
Clearly, bog beasts are the superior choice.

Your random S Serpent Priests. They are capital only, like the hydras, 100%PR. About one in 4 will be astral endowed, but that's usually enough.
I'd also suggest not buying any troop (but mages) for a few turns before you plan buying hydras, in order to save the upkeep costs. If you have 1000 gold and dom 8, wait till you have 2000 gold to buy 8 hydras in one turn for instance. The upkeep of hydras staying idle in the capital is huge. |

Re: Poison Resistant Troops
Ironhawk: The easy answer is 'undead'. IIRC, the Renatus can get to Death-2 on its own. That allows Death-3.
Unfortunately, Kydnides aren't PI, or they'd be pretty good. I note Sea Trolls are PI. That more or less covers water.
Nature, there's the ever-popular Vine Ogres. You can also leverage your Priests to Nature-4 with a few Astral pearls. Once there, you can get Lamias.

Re: Poison Resistant Troops
Yeah I considered undead for a while with the mage you describe. It is a good choice but the prob there is gems. Will take me some time to drum up enough death gem income to keep a steady supply of undead chaff.
Lamias! Now there is something I hadn't considered. Yeah I will have to look into that. I was playing around with Clay Men last night - they werent bad, but werent very good, either.
