Poll Question:
Sharpshooters or Enchanters ?

I had in mind talking about the unaltered game first, but I have nothing against bringing WoG and ERA, or other mods, into play.

I would pick Enchanters by a close margin for the normal game, because spells for me are a better deal than simple damage, in many cases, even if that damage has no range penalty.

It's best to combine might and magic, surely so Sharpshooters, protected and in a considerable number are a serious ace up your sleeve.

Enchanters are way better then Sharpshooters both in SoD and plain WoG.
In WoG they even get immune to level 4 spells and their clones can be used to lure or take relatiation, making then completly OP both early and late game. On the other hand, in a normal map Gelu will produce an army with several slots of shooters very easily while the same can't be said about Dracon, so he is are more usefull mid-game, when you already have a few fast melee units and some magic and want to have several stacks of archers doing most of the damage.  
There is none the less one reason to prefer Lava Sharpshooters to anything else, late game their fearless hability makes them more trustfull then Enchanters, even with their magic immunity.
By the way, I have an install of WoG where enchanter henchmen will cast while in another they will not. Even if they will have the animation the mass spell is only casted if there is a group of Enchanters in your army. Does any one knows wich script is doing this?

They're both great but I prefer the sharpshooters. But probably because I owned clash of dragons heroes chronicles and love rampart, so I played a lot more with them. And they look so badass!

i never understood why no games past h3  did any of these neutral upgrades for some faction units. It was such a cool concept that made the campaigns really fun. Plus it's always nice to have more neutrals.

Clash of Dragons was pretty good.

And I agree about the upgrades. It makes sense that powerful heroes should have their elite troops.
