 '''Naga Fighter:''' As in any match, useful in water. They can also be useful to kill units, that have very little HPs because of the poison. 4 attacks against someone almost dead is very nice.

 <b>Orcish Archer</b> is one of two ranged units of the northerners. While weak, orcish archers might use both classic pierce and fire damage.

 * strong melee attack (blade)
 <b>Wolf Rider</b> is very fast, moving quickly in hills. Good for capturing villages and as a support fighter. Not vulnerable to pierce attacks like other cavalry units.

	Use goblins or wolf riders to get villages. Defend them with grunts, they are your best unit for this. When not facing someone with magical attacks, use assassins. If assassin is defending a village and he poisons enemy unit, that enemy will have to run a long way to other village, or lose HPs very fast. Whelps do a poor job of holding villages with 40% defense, while they heal the same speed as outside of village (and blocking your wounded units from healing).

 Be careful about villages. Drakes love them and you must use your wolf riders to get them. Drakes are stronger than your wolves, so do not fight them and try to get another village. Drakes can take a lot of hits, but they will quickly move to villages.
-Hunt in packs. Good orc party is a good match for few mighty drakes. Combine your units, because drake player can use both drakes and saurians. What is good against one is strong against the another. Drake player does not have enough gold to make a lot of the same unit (with exception of saurians).

 '''Against drakes''': Use pierce melee and ranged damage (goblin spearmen and orcish archer), poison (assassin) and do not let them take villages (wolf rider). If you do this well, you can expect a lot of saurians.

	Your lack of ranged combat will mean you will be vulnerable to ranged counter-attacks. Plan accordingly and have some Assassins nearby to help defend against retaliation. Trolls are good for frontline blockers for their Regen, but keep them in hills or mountains where they have decent defense. Your archers are cheap and very good against some enemies, so it is a good idea to combine them with even cheaper and stronger grunts.
