age of wonders 3 archdruid how to evolve tier 1 animals

You cannot play the Archdruid with a 'brute force' mentality. The wild hunt is a great spell! Except for sieging, as Sir Toine said, you get the absolute most mobile force on the map. It is a great spell, especially after the 1.50 patch. You, obviously, underestimate Call the Horde. Baby spiders promote to queen spiders, if you use them well enough and Queen spiders are dreadful! Horned Gods are great, mostly because of their Call Lightning ability and they have very good strength and durability.ģ.

Spiders for webbing(hunter spiders can phase! Other spiders have other strengths), boars for charging(very dangerous animals) etc. Each animal has specific uses, according to type. The summons(most of them) are affected by the empire upgrades and can be buffed by Shamans(awaken spirit, e.g.). I mentioned one that is a solid gold spell in my tips above.Ģ.

Ehm.Situational spells? Examples? Are you referring to combat spells or overland spells? Archdruid's spells do not seem any situational to me. Malaficus Shaikan a écrit :The main problems:ġ: most spells seem to be too situational(more then other classes there spells)Ģ: there summons seem to be 50/50 in decent or crap(note: i said decent not good)ģ: No way to deal with large armies quickly and without much fuz(mana bomb, incite revol, etc)Īlso one with the wild seems to be a waste of mana. They all have their strengths and weaknesses and synergies with other elements, it can hardly get boring anytime soon. If you have a problem at a specific stage of the game with an Archdruid, I may be able to be more specific. Web and Entangle are fearful to every unit.Īnyway, these are my tips. The immobilization attacks are the no 1 strength of a druid. Summon ancestral warrior(or spirit, do not recall the exact name) does miracles, until shamans.ĭid I say Shamans are a key unit for the Archdruid Success? A stack of Shamans is, most likely, the most fearsome force in the Universe.The entangling touch is no 1 danger, they are tough enough to survive a failure and they can deliver good damage, as well.Īn Archdruid is benefited by racial diversity, because Shamans of different races get a different type of ranged attack. The animals are expendable and do a great job with the class's empire upgrades.Īlso, the Archdruid is the only class(if I am not mistaken) with combat summons. After Shamans, though, the race becomes irrelevant and the hunters even more. Until Shamans, though, things may be a bit tough. Between Shamans, Call the Horde and Call Lightning(Horned Gods) I have steamrolled everything when playing Archdruids.
