#Warlords battlecry 2 series

Due to their unique unit production system (recruited skeletons are upgradable to higher tier undead units), summoning heroes are one of the most viable choices. Undead military is a force to be reckoned with, however, its development requires tremendous amounts of gold, crystal, metal AND a certain level of micromanagement. Undead heroes are limited to Warrior and Wizard professions.

Undead - intelligent and ancient iniquity of northern Etheria.

Military strengths include poisons (archers, spiders), a recruitable unit with assasination ability (chance to kill ANYTHING in one hit), spellcasters beneficial both in and outside combat and (realitively) sacrifice ability. Dark elven military and economy is well balanced resource-wise (but may require slightly more micromanagement). Dark Elf heroes can choose any profession.

Dark Elves - dexterous, intelligent and relentless side of Elven lineage.

Military strength lies in Gladewardens (Wood Elven archers), who, combined with their racial vision upgrades, make up for serious lack of flexible and meaty melee units. The economy of Wood Elves is more or less balanced (although preference in gold and crystals is felt) most resource problems can be solved with Trading Posts and Ancient Wisps. Wood Elf heroes can choose any profession.

Wood Elves - dexterous and illusive inhabitants of Etheria's forests.

Their military strength lies in archers, cavalry that can attack air units (Dragon Knights) and plenty of healing abilities.

High elven nobility is (in a way) expressed with the restriction of Rogue profession choice.

High Elves - agile intelligent and noble faction of Etherian elves.

Fey - the agile, intelligent and charismatic fairyfolk of Etheria.Most of their non-siege troops are able to consume alchochol to gain significant combat boost. Their military strength is siege warfare. Although economically dependant on gold and metal, their mining proficiency can quickly solve any lack of resources. Dwarven heroes are limited to Warrior, Rogue and Priest professions. Their military strength lies in an impressive array of cavalry and flexible set of recruitable spellcasters. Their economy is heavily dependant on gold and their military capacity is limited by vulnerability to aerial attacks. Human heroes have little limitations in choosing profession and speciality.
