Turn the table in TC sieges when you don't even have to advance to kill the defenders behind the city walls.Ĥ) Goblins + 3 fire/ 3 death. If you can get a steam tank for transport, all the better. Engineers with 'seeker' and 'mighty meek' can hold their own against equivalent costs of level 3 and 4 units. Fire pistol has long range on engineers, since they aren't mounted. Instead of going for runemasters and moles, the idea here is to focus on engineers. This a different type of dwarf combination. If you can get hold of 'double gravity', you will be set for anything.ģ) Dwarves + 3 air/ 3 life. Steam tanks will help the mobility problem, especially with water-walking.

If you get a free stone menders, keep in mind that 'static shield' plus 'liquid form' makes gargolyes terrors, too. And unlike warlords, their high resist and willpower will leave you less room to worry as they slowly charge forward in TC. With these enchants, they will beat most level 4s. (If you can get hold of 'bless', then deathstrike won't be a problem). This will give them protection or immunity to everything but cold and death. The idea here is to use silver medalled runemasters, and cast liquid form and static shield. Dwarves have mountaineering, so with water walking they can get to almost any terrain. The downside is you don't know how fast you will get these spells, although if you are lucky both will be on your starting spellbook. If you want 'liquid form' or 'static shield', you pretty much have to put all 6 spheres in water to be assured of getting them. This is a tougher combo to use, but when everything falls into place, it works damningly well. If you have the mana to cast 'seeker' and 'mighty meek' on your crossbowmen, you have a powerful range force to supplement your knights, without having to worry about obstacles.Ģ) Dwarves + water specialist. They can even be used offensively, since you can carry a few crossbowmen on your galleys to make up for their lack of movement. 'Mighty meek' makes your crossbowmen a factor in the late game. It also lets them attack in sieges from the back. Because fire javelin only works in green movement, seeker will allow your galleys to shoot every turn without having to position themselves.

'Seeker' is probably the best enchant around for air galleys.

The idea here is to plan on using air galleys full of knights, witches and crossbowmen. That being said, I'm sure there are some SP players out there who have worked out great combos that haven't yet been seen on MP.ġ) Humans + 3 air/ 3 life. High level summons, for example, are not that important in MP games because the game is usually decided by the time they (if ever) become a factor. If you haven't played MP, keep in mind that a lot of good combos in SP will not work well in MP. Feel free to add your own that have worked. From what I can tell, earth, air and death are the most popular spheres in MP. Here are some my favorite combinations for MP that have worked but that also don't seem too popular. And part of the fun in MP is using an unanticipated combination that works brilliantly against someone who is not expecting it. The same race can play a lot different when using different magic spheres. You can read the interviews of top 3 players in recent tournaments for more insights into class/race etc.For me, the beauty of AoW is trying out different combinations and figuring out what is effective. It allows very strong expansion and very good clearing. Personally, I really like Tigran Warlord Grey Guard Master, and Partisan, see my match vs Marcuspers for some explanations. That may seem counter-intuitive combos to many people but for instance Jean de Metz, #2 best AoW3 PBEM player used Orc Sorcerer to win vs gabthegab in the 1/4 match of the Duel Tournament. Orcs have Victory Rush so they compensate well the lack of healing of Rogue and Sorcerer which lack any access to healing.Īnd finally, you need to think about Empire Upgrades and RG, though here I don't see any very strong synergies (though there are some smaller ones).Īll in all, I think Orc Sorcerer and Orc Rogue are interesting synergies due to Victory Rush + Physical & Shock / Blight. Orcs only have Physical damage so the classes that open up other damage channels are interesting options. A good combo can be when the race plugs the class' weaknesses or opens up new options or vice-versa.
