How do you know which units are late game?
So I was just reading the book of Kaemon Awa - I'm a newb and I just won him on ebay. Everyone says he's best used late game. I think I read the same thing about Marro warriors.
I'm wondering if there's any way to recognize which units are for which part of the game. I get that some guys are glyph grabbers so they probably get activated early. But what makes a squad or hero a late game choice? |

Use the search and look for "What's in an order marker?"
It explains the different categories of strengths and weaknesses of each unit, and how or when to use them. "Late game" just means they sit back and wait until most of your units are dead, then finishes off the enemy. Welcome to the site! EDIT: Ninja'd |

Re: How do you know which units are late game?
I find that self-contained units work well later in the game. By that I mean units like Kaemon or Jotun who are strong by themselves and don't have a lot of synergy that would compel you to use them earlier. Kaemon can spend a long time sitting in reserve without reducing the effectiveness of the rest of your army.

Re: How do you know which units are late game?
My personal thoughts of a late game figure are Cheerleaders that don't need LOS to be helpful. Figures like Warden 816, Charos in a valiant army, Khousmet and DKs, Su-Bak-Na and Nagrubs, Atlaga post-witherwood, etc. all work well in the late game once the figures that they have boosted fall.

Re: How do you know which units are late game?
A great late game figure is Tyrian, as he can dish out a lot of hurt but will get overwhelmed if the enemy army is still at full strength. This is how I use late game units, they will get killed easily by a whole army but can do enough damage to clean up the remains of one.

He is meant to be used early and kill the opponent's key figure, such as Raelin, before he dies. MegaSilver, noting that ZB made the same error while playtesting him. |
