Заголовок сообщения: New Horizons 2.60b: Looking for strategies
Hello,
I can only properly start and play with pure mage or with the strategist (commander -> ranger). Anyone know some good strategies with the other hero types? Like how to build them up and how their strength works.

That depends on your world type and available technologies. I'm rather surprised you manage with a pure mage, since it requires quite a lot of crystals; the swamplands are best for mages due to crystals, for instance.
I've always found the ranger, due to his speed, the best hero. He is useful in almost every map and I've found the ranger->commander (ringleader) mixing being my most frequent type of hero.
The rangers' strength is his speed, while his greatest problem is that he can't take a lot of punch. He's absolutely tremendous early game (since in the start you get only Slingers and they're basically the junk of all ranged units) but his strength fades later on, so he might not be for the long-game. There are battles that are practically almost impossible to win even with a fully equipped leveled-up ranger accompanied with a strong army. But in any case, your first tactic is to immediately go buy him a bow and arrows and some armor and send him off scouting while building up your stronghold.
By the way, it also depends slightly on your alignment. Some units are more useful than others; it's also a problem if you mix up the various different morality units due to the loss on bonus. Militia and Slinger are good cheap units if you want to use as cannon fodder and then resurrect them mid-battle with the necro dude.

Are you still interested in tips? I would have posted earlier but my old account stopped working for some reason. I play the campaign on overlord difficulty as a good guy with a preference for wizards. Stuff keeps getting in the way (campaign killed by bug, campaign killed by dead hard drive, e.t.c) so I've only gotten about 15-20 shards in but I'd say I probably have some skill at the game by this point. _________________ Formerly known as Dasdsad.
