Monks or Split Marksmen?

[The Mad Dragon]

I was wondering. Would it be better to have both Marksmen and Monks, or to just split up the Marksmen into two stacks when they reach high numbers?

[Akul]

For H3, H4 or H2?

[The Mad Dragon]

Bah, how silly of me to not mention which game.

H3.

[Akul]

Why don't you then use theme both? You have 7 slots, 1 for every level of unit. Mixing aligments is bad for morale. Also, spliting marksmen of puting monks depends on their size.

[The Mad Dragon]

I usually don't mix alignment. And since all 7 are used up, I was wondering which would be better to use.

[Akul]

How can they be used up? Did you try to visit some hillfort to upgrade your units?

[The Mad Dragon]

Halberdier, Crusader, Marksmen, Champion, Royal Griffin, Zealot and Angel.

That makes 7.

[Akul]

Why don't you upgrade monks into zealoth then? It is obvious you have acces to theme.

[The Mad Dragon]

errr, i meant zealot, not monks, lol.

If you really want to split the marksmen, ditch the halberdiers.
I wouldn't bother though, as Marksmen suffer large attrition through the game- they're a prime target of castle turrets and the like.

I concur, and I'll add that I prefer to drop the Halberdiers and split the Archangels instead for the Resurrection.

I almost never ditch the shooters when my armies are full,its always the walkers that fly

[Dread Knight]

NO,no No Spliting.The marksmens are good into large numbers or with Expert Archery and maybe Valeska for hero(Think she was with the archers) .And for the zealots-For good Damage minimum 30 of them and 150 Marksmen-Life`s Good!

Unless you get the Marksmen from sources other than your Castle, their number would never come in such quantity as to outgun the Zealots. You'd better use them both.
