Low Cost Tactics

[SlipperyJim]

I like Hoburg Crossbows. They're cheap and low-resource, so you can pack an enormous number of the little guys into your army. They're small, so you can fit 50% more Hoburgs into the same space on the tactical map when compared to human crossbowmen, and that seems to translate into greater missile density.

The only downside is the map move of 1. If you have a way to overcome that issue -- or if you just don't care -- then Hoburg Crossbows can be a cheap way to add a lot of firepower to your army.
