5th Units
Ogre
Strength: 100Cost: 50
Moves per round: 2
Attack radius: Close
Information
Ogres are the most useless 5th unit available. Between cost and moves/round, there is no reason to employ them.
Orks
Strength: 100Cost: 20
Moves per round: 3
Attack radius: Close
Information
Orks are not bad if you must have a 5th unit. They are cheap and at 3 moves/round can be of some use.
Olog-hai
Strength: 110Cost: 30
Moves per round: 2
Attack radius: Close
Information
Olog-hai are not too useful because of how slow they are.
Gargoyles
Strength: 120Cost: 40
Moves per round: 3
Attack radius: Close
Information
Gargoyles are an alright 5th unit. Not only can they move 3 space/round, they can fly over trees and fenses.
Lizards
Strength: 110Cost: 60
Moves per round: 3
Attack radius: Close
Information
Lizards are too expensive to be a good 5th unit
Skeletons
Strength: 100Cost: 20
Moves per round: 2
Attack radius: Close
Information
Skeletons are too slow and should be avoided
Bugbear
Strength: 100Cost: 30
Moves per round: 3
Attack radius: Close
Information
Bugbears are not great, but can serve as backup in a hard situation
Fachan
Strength: 100Cost: 40
Moves per round: 3
Attack radius: Full
Information
Fachans are one of the best 5th units for hire. The full attack range with 3 moves/round makes them very useful. When used for range attacks, the Fachan takes no damage. A Facham hired early on can last the entire game.
Wyvern
Strength: 150Cost: 60
Moves per round: 3
Attack radius: Close
Information
Wyvern are expensive, but can be worth it. They move 3 space/round, can fly and have a strength of 150. They are nice to have when defending, since the enmey can't put of blockades that will stop them.
Gunners
Strength: 150Cost: 40
Moves per round: 3
Attack radius: Far
Information
Gunners are nice for their range, moves/round and strength. Since they are distant attackers, they take no damage when fighting.
Shooters
Strength: 150Cost: 35
Moves per round: 3
Attack radius: Far
Information
Shooters are a little better then Gunners. They have the same range, strength and speed, but cheaper.
Spearmen
Strength: 150Cost: 20
Moves per round: 3
Attack radius: Far
Information
Spearmen are a great 5th unit. The price for their strength can't be beat, and their range attack keeps them at this strength. Speamen hired early on can easily last the whole game.
Pikemen
Strength: 150Cost: 40
Moves per round: 3
Attack radius: Close
Information
Pikemen are alright--the drawback being the close range attack.
Lancers
Strength: 180Cost: 50
Moves per round: 3
Attack radius: Close
Information
Lancers are one of the strongest 5th units available--strong then any of the gems. They are quick, strong and useful even against gems.
Warriors
Strength: 180Cost: 60
Moves per round: 3
Attack radius: Close
Information
Warriors are as powerful as Lancers but a little more expensive. Not a bad 5th unit, but take Lancers instead if you can get them.
Gems
Pluvius
Strength: 160Moves per round: 2
Attack radius: Outer
Information
Pluvius is the strongest gem in the game. His outter attack radius is very useful for taking on castles. Pluvius's weakness is speed--only 2 moves/round.
Zendor
Strength: 150Moves per round: 3
Attack radius: Outer
Information
Zendor is the most useful gem of the game. His attack radius, speed and strength are ideal, even against the Fire Dragon. Bring Zendor when you need to win.
Skulryk
Strength: 110Moves per round: 3
Attack radius: Outer
Information
Skulryk isn't the strongest, but his attack radius and speed make him one of the more useful gems.
Empyron
Strength: 140Moves per round: 2
Attack radius: Close
Information
Empyron is fairly strong, but slow and has a poor attack radius. He makes good cannon fodder for other gems/5th units.
Scylla
Strength: 130Moves per round: 2
Attack radius: Close
Information
Scylla is probably the least useful gem. She's slow, weak and has only a close attack radius. But she's not bad for defense.
Chylla
Strength: 120Moves per round: 3
Attack radius: Close
Information
Chylla is quick but only has a close attack radius. Still, the speed can be useful.
Pastha
Strength: 160Moves per round: 2
Attack radius: Close
Information
Pasthas are granted when the ruler has been good to the people. They are free, only good once and automaticlly elected 5th unit if attacked. I personally think they would have been more useful at 3 moves/round--but they can't. Pasthas hold their own against the Dragon and because of their strength make good cannon fodder. They are great backup for weak lands since they cost nothing
Strength: 160
