Oh yeah, one more thing I wanted to mention is the casting route can be a particularly good anti-thug route that I have yet to see anyone else use. Hand of death in particular is a great one, works great with...say vampire counts buffed-to-fly liches.

I tried using hand of death against llamabeast in the warhammerama game... it took out a large chunk of health but 60 or so damage doesn't quite cut it on a 300 hp cyclops. Still, against anything reasonable that would have more than sufficed.

IMO, the best thugs you can make are ones capable of dieing large amounts of life drain per turn. Think my favorite thug was a Dusk Elder that I had use wish for 'power' to beef him up a bit. And then gave a few items that added additional aoe life-draining attacks along with regenerating items and magic resistance. Every turn he drained a sizeable chunk of the enemy's units, regained life, and repeated until they ran. Worked every-single-time.
