HomeLAN - What are some of your favorite new spells and attacks in the new expansion?

Gauthier and Petty - I find the new strategy created by summoning permanent forests on the map makes for a very different type of game. Imagine planting a huge mass of trees around the enemy's capital and expanding it every turn just to slow down his units as soon as they step out the door. Put patches of trees all around your controlled resources to buy extra time as enemy rod planters approach. The Elves also have a movement-reducing spell - these two used together can be devastating. My favorite attack would be "Critical Hit." It's a percentage of your damage carried over to the enemy regardless of armor and obviously as your strength grows, the critical hits grow. We’ve given this ability to the Warrior Lord at high levels too.
