Another wicked post by blo0d angel. Keep 'em coming.

I have compiled here a general guide to different armies you should use vs different clans. I hope this helps your late game. This is assuming a population limit of 30 people. The total size of your army should be about equal to your opponents so adjust the numbers accordingly. What I mean by the numbers given is that when you have that array of troops in atleast those numbers you are ready to attack and expect victory. If you do not have those troops with those battle gear yet do not attack unless of course he just got himself smashed at your base and you have pks to take out his towers. The combination of battle gear and units is what works.

>>Serpent Clan

1. This army will work well vs any serpent army but it is not optimal for any:

4-6 Samurai.
2-4 Kabuki with Stardust.
3-5 Powder Keg Cannoneers with Super Keg.
3-5 Powder Keg Cannoneers with Indirect Fire.
1-2 Mounted Geisha.
1 Archer with Zen arrow.

You should have one archer tower with your super keg pks at the side with their battle gear turned off. Behind the tower you should have your pks with indirect fire and your main army. Scout with zen arrows and target his explosive weak units with your indirect fire pks. If he charges tell them to hold ground and just let them shoot. When he gets close charge with your main force while stardusting his ranged units a few times. Before he gets to attack your tower or pks stun him and hit him with your super kegs. Target any muskets bandits or swords with your kabuki and your sams at any cannons or geisha. I have used this many times loosing no units at all.

2.You should tweak the numbers of the various units depending on what your opponent is focusing on. For example if he favors musks ronin or bandits use more kabuki. If he favors cannons or geisha then use more samuri.

>>Lotus Clan

1. Lots of warlocks and\or unclean supported by dark canopy and various other troops.

6-8 Dragon Warriors with Chi Shield.
1-2 Kabuki with Stardust.
5-8 Archers with Fire Arrow.
3-5 Powder Keg Cannoneers with Super Keg.
1-2 Mounted Geisha.

Have your geisha gaurd your archers and just keep skirmishing the enemy. If he has troops infront of his towers fire of a volley then run if he doesn't then turn of fire arrows and do the same thing to his towers. Eventually he will have no choice to attack or have his whole army picked to pieces. When he does attack wait till your tower starts shooting at his troops then run at him with dws infront and stardust his ranged troops. Now that his ranged units can't fire run in and kill the staff adept and any melle support he has. If a dw gets hurt badly turn on chi shield to give the geisha time to come heal. Once dark canopy is down run in your pks and super keg wherever he has the most units. You should wrap up really easily with this if properly microed.

2. Mass rebirth infested with dark canopy and channelers.

6-8 Samurai with Yang Blade. [Yang Blade is optional and is not key to winning.]
6-8 Powder Keg Cannoneers with Super Keg.
1-2 Mounted Geisha.

Just run in with your samurai and target the brother who is giving rebirth to the infested. After they are in the thick of battle run in and target all your super kegs at once at the biggest clump of invested. The lotus's entire army should be clumped around your samuri trying to stop the brother from dying so your pks should
kill the brother the channelers and make ALL the infested die and be reborn. After that your samuri and pks can just wrap things up easily. This strat will work against any lotus army that is mostly melle. If he decided to throw in a few ranged units do the obvious thing and throw in some stardust kabuki to save your samuri from a slaughter.

>>Wolf Clan

1. Doesn't matter what he uses this army should work against them all.

6-8 Mounted Samurai
1-2 Stardust Kabuki.
6-8 Powder Keg Cannoneers with Super Keg.
3 Powder Keg Cannoneers with Indirect Fire.
1-2 Mounted Geisha.

Use the indirect fire on any towers because the wolf ballista tower is a real bitch to fight under. When you attack run in your kabuki and stardust his druidess ballista and pitch then run in your mounted samuri with the geisha gaurding them and trample untill your horses are out of stamina. While you are trampling activate super keg and run in your pks. Target any clumps of druidess or pitch. The trample should deal with any berserkers pitch or druidess and any that aren't killed will get massacred by the super kegs. Anything that doesn't die will be easily wrapped up by your samuri.

>>Dragon Clan

1. This army should do well against any dragon army.

2-4 Samurai
2-4 Kabuki with Flash and Stardust.
3-5 Spearmen with Whirling Spear.
3-5 Powder Keg Cannoneers with Super Keg.
3 Powder Keg Cannoneers with Indirect Fire.
1-2 Mounted Geisha.

Indirect fire his towers then run in and super keg his army. Any weak units such as spearmen kabuki or archers should just drop dead on the spot. The second your pks fire run in with your main army and whirl with your spears and stardust his ranged. The whirl will gib any kabuki spearmen or samurai and your samuri will slaughter any surviving dragon warriors or chemists which are the ONLY units that could have survived both the super kegs and the whirling spear.
