Races, Classes and ProgressionAll Hirelings advance in class after level 5. Leaders can hire units of their own alignment and neutral.
Hired Unit Progression Overview Lawful >> Fighter > Knight > Paladin >> Mage > Magician > Sorcerer >> Priest > Bishop > Cleric Neutral >> Archer > Sniper > Ranger >> Mage > Wizard > Enchanter >> Priest > Monk > Druid Chaotic >> Wildman > Berserker > Warlord >> Mage > Warlock > Necromancer >> Priest > Bishop > Black Bishop Hired Unit Placement Order and Reasoning 1. Sub Leader Characters When sub leader characters are acquired, they will automatically be placed directly after the leader in slots #2 and #3. 2. New Hirelings Getting Hirelings an occupation is top priority. 3. Magic Users When Magic users acquire multiple target spells, set these up first, moving friendly units that may be in the path of the best spells. Using the spells that target 3 or 7 enemy units is great for taking out or weakening groups. 4. Warriors Keep these units on the front lines. 5. Ranged Warriors They can attack over the front lines with ranged attack. 6. Healers They can heal injured units after the front line attacks. Healers' attack spells generally have good range. Racial Characteristics Make sure you hire at least one unit from each race as they will be needed for various quests.

Plan to convert to the opposite alignment as needed. The idea is to wait until your magic user or healer learns all the spells of his alignment and then convert him. He will now begin to learn the spells of his new alignment as well. Keep in mind, his weapon and armor restrictions will change with an alignment change. See Apostle of Sabrina quest and Apostle of Darkness quest for additional details on alignment changes. Warrior Strategies Hire a Class 2 Human Warrior to become a Ninja when the situation arises if you have taken Cheshire, Otherwise a Class 2 Level 1 Human Warrior is all that is required for a Ninja. An originally Lawful Warrior (Paladin) is needed to become a Winged Horserider. For Chaotic Leader Quests, the Fighter you start with is the only eligible unit to become a Winged Horserider unless you create more. See below. A Warrior matching your Dragon's alignment is needed to become a Dragonrider. A Warrior or a Ranged Warrior can be used for a Griffinrider. A Warrior can be converted to the opposite alignment in order to take advantage of more of the best equipment available. See Apostle of Sabrina quest for a way to get additional Lawful Warriors who are eligible to become Winged Horseriders. See Apostle of Darkness quest for a way to get Chaotic Warriors when playing as a lawful leader. Ranged Warrior Strategies Robin will need one to become a Dragonrider. Make at least one of your Ranged Warriors an elf to take advantage of more of the best equipment available. Healer Strategies Plan to convert to the opposite alignment as needed. See magic user section above. Return to Top
