Sylvan vs. Necropolis

In general, after playing N number of games, I realized that Wing or Galraen are the best choices. The decisive factor is the Tactics skill and +1 to speed; with this, a stack of 60-70 Blades under the Luck skill can, under certain circumstances, destroy the opponent's stack completely. Galraen's Blades are very powerful, but it's difficult to level up the necessary skills: - Leadership, Aura 3 > speed, Forest Lord. - Attack, Tactics, Battle Balance, Retribution, Ranged Attack (in the early stages, Battle Balance is no worse than Retribution, and Ranged Attack is only good if you have Osir and a +7 Archer's Guild building in the Art of Strategy). - Luck 2-3 (against magical races, 15% perk for antimagic), Soldier's Luck as needed. Besides Wing, all Elves have a problem with getting Attack (but, for example, against Orcs, you can do without it due to the Centaurs' high hit points). So, 70 Blades running across the battlefield destroy half of the enemy stack, often triggering Battle Cry and Luck, and it's very difficult for the enemy to figure out what to attack: Blades with 30+ armor, 15 initiative, and powerful critical hits, or Archers divided into 4 stacks, dealing massive damage. It's also very good to take Vitality and Stone Skin, although if the opponent isn't rushing, you can also level up Light Magic.
