You have some sort of special power for rolling out a video on a nation one month after I start a game with it

ive been doing well with the lion-ant pretender. Nice to see the detailed review of spells. I did righteous wrath, +1 reinv. 4 fire 4 earth on pretender.

Gotta say, I think Lion Warriors are better in Dominions 6 both in early and lategame - early on, invulnerability is great, lategame, you have plentiful earth magic for iron or marble warriors. The trouble is the midgame - if you're up against someone with magic weapons before you have protection buffs, especially someone with non-sacred magic weapons, your lion weapons fall off hard~

Sadly the war lions have a minimum age of 15 and start old age at 16. With the slight age variance units have when recruited some of them even start old, about a third of them i think. So their stats are a bit deceptive because they are lowered due to aging very quickly
