Your idea is to be able to hit your opponents (who will hopefully be trying to do city dev (Farm, Builder etc.) in the first 25 turns and catch him off guard. Specialisation : Adventurer (Irregular perks)Īs you can guess, the idea is to focus on the Irregular and starts pumping the first unit from the get go (without tanking your econ of course) I see to strategy : Very short term (Blitzkrieg) and Short term (Rush)įocus R&D : Irregular Training, Cruel Backstab Redundant Hero : Your Hero will give bonuses that your army already have (Infiltration Squad, Poison, Stealth) So it is actually best to use your hero to lead racial units and get Sorc, Theocrat, Druids and Warlord This all cumulates into : Worst end of game class BY FAR !

Only have 1 spell that boost city morale (Iron Grip) which is unecessary if you know how to position your cities (either in regards to terrains or using Hearts.

Some of their spells aren't even worth dejuncting (Sadism) By far the worst combat spells as well. In fact you are better off using racial units to form the bulk of your army and use class unit for special Ops (ambush, city sniping etc) Simply wont win any straight up balanced fight against any other Class. By far the worst pound for pound army in the game. Boosting Irregular unit means that you can have a significant army right from the start Of course all of this culminates into : Best early class in game. Which will turn into an army of Stalker by turn 50ish Can easily have an army of Scoundrel by turn 25.

Most cost effective army : Using Corrupted Killers + Shadow Stalker = evolving unit 3.5 from the one of the cheapest unit (1) in game = Scoundrel. If Rogue gets this before turns 50 it's bye bye ! Plague of Brigands : Can't be disjuncted, only needs LOS on the target city and absolutely WILL tear up a weakly defended city. By far the best recruiter, both in term of charm / seduce and in terms of annexing neutral cities(Courteasan Ambassador) By far the best scout units in game (Grimbeak Crow) Most elusive class both in terms of stealth and movement having access to a floating unit at level 2 (evolving scoundrel unit = lesser shadow stalker)

By far the best city conquerer class of the game with most unit having means to bypass / climb / fly over walls, not to mention some of the most effective city strategic spells in the game (more on that later) Don't have experience against human players yet. Just trying Rogue right now and I'd like to share my strats :ĭisclaimer : this is my opinion after having played this class against computer at highest level.
