The ravager/petrification combo is most likely a bug and I would count it as a cheat...

Sry for double post but can't seem to edit posts while on the phone. Any ideas on how to play Sanctuary properly?

The Kirin is 50% of the faction. Use Trail of Mist whenever possible to increase your creatures' movement or block the opponent's walkers. The Kirin itself is pretty durable, the low hit points notwithstanding, so it can be used to absorb retaliations. Its "freezing" ability is extremely nasty as well and can be used to pin down the most dangerous enemies (by the way I'm not sure it's supposed to affect the Pit Lord due to Blinded by Hate but it does) + it deals a lot of damage. As for the rest - if your Kenseis survive long enough, they will cut down whatever non-Champion thing they target. The Mizu-Kami are excellent for blocking archers are re-distributing Waves of Renewal. The Ice Maidens are very good archers if well-protected. And of course the Priestesses which are mainly for healing but also for re-arranging the movement order of the opponent by reducing initiative (this could be quite irritating actually). In short - Sanctuary is all about disrupting the enemy tactics and can be pretty effective at that.

Thanks, I feel that Sanctuary is the faction with the most interesting and fun abilities.

Kirins were the most useless thing possible in real game (in beta 1.1). Second to shark guys ofc. Still, unless they got buffed a lot, I wouldn't even bother with them.
(not talking about duels).

I haven't tested the Kirin in 1.1 much (its abilities were bugged back then if I remember correctly) but now it's definitely a great unit. Due to it, most of the duels against Sanctuary are defensive which is quite unpleasant sometimes. In a normal game its effectiveness will be a bit lower but then again all Champions will be less effective outside the duels and probably the Seraphs will head the cost-ineffective department.
The bipedal shark is still useless though, the Sanctuary version of the Breeder.

I think they could make the Shark useful if they increased his speed and iniative a lot . That would allow him to use his Slow ability more efficiently. Quickly slowing down enemies to prevent them from escaping or reaching your own troops would be his thing.

I guess you're abusing Retribution Aura and moreover the Stronghold player seems rather... disorientated  judging from the fact that he has picked Panther Warriors over a second Dreamreaver stack. My last game against a decent Sanctuary player (without Retribution Aura) had similar results but the roles were reversed.
Well maybe he picks the panther for his initiative with it you will be almost sure you will be the one that will have the first turn which is really important with Stronghold
At least thats what i think, could be wrong though... anyways opinions are welcome as i want to improve

What to understand ? Zero looses vs superior army. Opponent may have much bigger army and still loose big time. Heroes 6 is still game of Heroes not of armies, creatures ...

Looking at the ATB bar below I wouldn't say that the opponent's army is "superior" and lacking any details about the battle itself, the post is meaningless indeed. Unless you wanted to share that you're #1 in ToH.

Some people say H6 is no more Heroes game, it's about armies. Magic is weak. Bigest army win. My game say - not is not, you may win with no looses at all vs good armies. Now is clear ?
