ME was playing drakes, and with more drakes than Saurians. I went as fast as possible, and during the last part of the day, I lunged deep into enemy territory to take out a Saurian Augur on the first turn. Indeed, I played very, very aggressively this whole game.
A few thoughts on the match-up:
With standard recruiting patterns, the loyalists have the advantage in damage and health because of the abundance of piercing damage, etc. Drakes can use saurians against piercing folks, but they fall easily to normal guys in the loyalist army (note that they are basically slightly-better/more-expensive fencers with no HP). The other tactics they can use involves being careful about when and where to place attacks, hitting the piercing units with Burners' ranged attacks, and outright killing them before the can retaliate. There are many tactics, but the limiting factor is that they all involve the drake player choosing his or her battles.
I didn't want to let MysteryExclamation choose her battles. Instead I pushed forward hard and made the biggest bloodbath I could. Bowmen shot Clashers, Spearmen stabbed everything, and calvary ran around finishing things off. When the dust settled, I held the position, and had gotten a Spearman to become a Pikeman, which is golden against drakes. Of course, by then I had killed about twice as many drakes as I had lost units, so the game was pretty much up by then.
Back to winning!
