Leaders Like other rod planters the Empires rod planter can heal her unit. That makes her a real thiefkiller.

Targets: 1 Fighter Units Personally I prefer the Defender of the Faith as front line soldier for the Empire. The double attack of the Holy Avenger isn't very powerful versus armored units, the Angel is only useful when you haven't got enough money to level up to level 5 and the Witch-Hunter with his immunity versus Mind based attacks is completely useless. Most of the time enemy paralyzers won't attack your front line anyway. Squire HP: 100 Armor: 0 Immunities: None Wards: None Attack: Sword (80%) Damage: 25 Source: Weapon Initiative: 50 Reach: Adj.

Targets: 1 Ranged Attack Units The archer is not one of the strongest units but putting your support line full of healers won't work. You need some extra attacking power for the finishing touch. The archers level up fast and are imperial assassins in no time. Their poisinous attack is perfect versus armored units because armor won't protect from the damage that poison does. Archer HP: 45 Armor: 0 Immunities: None Wards: None Attack: Arrow (80%) Damage: 25 Source: Weapon Initiative: 60 Reach: Any Targets: 1 Marksman HP: 90 Armor: 0 Immunities: None Wards: None Attack: Arrow (85%) Damage: 40 Source: Weapon Initiative: 60 Reach: Any Targets: 1 Imperial Assassin HP: 135 Armor: 0 Immunities: None Wards: None Attack: Daggers (85%) Attack2: Poison (75%) Damage: 60 Source: Weapon Initiative: 60 Reach: Any Targets: 1 Mage Units The wizards are the basic attack units who attacks 6 targets and are the only defense versus the Undead Hordes their deaths. Personally I think the Elementalist is useless. It looks interesting but takes an extra turn to do damage (he has to summon first) and the summoned creature dissapears when he dies. The titan is a more interesting unit but is very expensive though (750 for the building, 300 per unit). So be sure there is enough gold in the map for that.

Targets: 1 Support Units The Empire is very popular because of their healing units. By using healing units you finish most of the battles unharmed which gives you the oppurtunity to rush through the neutrals front line and level up fast. There are two types of healers: the healers who focus on one unit and the team healers. The team healers are very useful versus mass attackers like mages, that's why I prefer them above healers who focus on one unit.

The Golem with his earthquake is very useful to soften up strong enemy units (50 armor!). Including the units who have an immunity versus weapon because the Golem does earth damage.
