Tactic exercices
Who wanna try some tactic exercices? For example, can you beat 100 Black Dragons with 40 Titans and some magic? Or 1000 Sharpshooters with only 100 the sames?

hmm an idea never tested it because I never ran into such situations but expert water & earth with wisdom & also split your titans in each slot of 1 each.
Dragons reach you first round & then you cast clone, move those cloned titans out of reach for next round & then move you other titans to a corner.
Next round the blackies attacs the cloned, then you move your titans guard your main 45 other titans & then attack with the 45 titans from the corner.
Next round your dragons attack 2 titans, you wait with the 45 titans & then move all your other titans out of the way then cast force field for remainder of the battle hehe.
Just a tought hehe.

You have no clone, but you have tactics. W/o tactics, dragons will smash you first round. Did you understood, there is a link to cite with exercice maps?

Exercise 1. Similar to MM's solution.
Exercise 2. 40 titans vs 100 black dragons
First, will everyone have the same battle map obstacles (the logs and stuff)? Because this solution uses them.
I'm using a coordinate system, starting in upper left. Top to bottom is A-K. Left to right is 1-15.
Formation = 34-1-1-1-1-1-1
Tactics stage:
protect main stack and don't let blackies attack more than one stack at a time
34 titans to position D5
next 5 to positions A5,B6,C6,D7,E7
last one to H7
Round 1
blackie kills C6
cast mass bless
H7 move to C6 -- to maintain protective formation
D7 defend --- there are no melee attacks until end
others attack
Round 2
blackie kills A5
resurrect A5
A5, B6 defend
others attack
Round 3
blackie kills C6
resurrect C6
C6, D7 defend
others attack
Round 4
blackie kills B6
mass haste
A5 move to B6
others attack
Round 5
cast precision
B6 wait
others attack
blackie kill D7 -- he could have killed 2 stacks, but didn't
didn't record what B6 did after waiting
Round 6
no spell points left
E7 move to D7
others attack
blackie kills B6 and C6
Round 7
D7 move away from main stack
main stack attack
21 blackies, 34 titans and 1 titan
done in 2 more rounds with 27 titans alive
The blackies were very inconsistant in which stack they attack, so this exact sequence in unlikely to repeat. In round 1 the blackies blocked stack 7 from filling in for the killed titan 3 out of 4 times. Mass haste in round 1 takes care of this and is still winnable, but won't leave as many titans at the end.

Example 1(20 manticores and 40 black dragons vs 100 titans): similar to madmartigan's
Example 2(40 titans vs 100 black dragons): I'm dying everytime
Example 3(1 dragonfly, 40 chaos hydras vs 100 ancient behemoths): slow, haste, bless, maybe frenzy(depends of mana), and just hit and run them
Example 4(5 green dragons and 7 vampire lords vs 28 naga queens): dunno this yet
Example 5(40 hydras vs 100 hydras): split hydras into 2 stacks, one with just one, and other with rest...you can manouver to get some turns where you'll wait with bigger stack
Example 6-8: dying now

Will everyone have the same terrain obstacles?
Here's the upper left portion of mine with coordinates and starting position

B----LT---
C---L-T---
D---LM-T--
E---LLLT--

Thanks for responses...
The obstacles are kinda yours... But they aren't necessary, any case. I crowded my Titans at left-bottom corner of the battlefield, and 21 survived. (Binabik had 27)

he-he... Ranked expert, you know. And no vampire-strike-retreat!
I uploaded the Mr.Iks's puzzle #A (real game save, SoD). (Needed to re-gzip it at maximum compression to fit in 500 K limit) Good thing, IMHO. Yes, no casualities. I thought it was impossible, too...

Thanks for the obstacle info. And thanks for the exorcises too. Your's was the first post in the library in 2-3 days, I was starting to think I was the only one here. (so I'll just talk to myself 
Actually I played around with ex2 a little more. With my obstacles, I consistantly have 30 survivors now. In the corner the dracons will attack the main stack at least one round sooner.
Exorcise 3: too easy
Exorcise 4:
I need a clarification of the rules. You said the vamps can't hit-and-run. In the map itself it says "vampires cannot attack nagas". Does that mean the vamps can't attack at all, or they can attack, but not hit-and-run.
I'm thinking something like this.
Round 1, prayer, no attacks, and end round at least 8 hex from nagas.
Round 2, wait, frenzy largest dragon stack and attack, losing one dragon. Round three will be a retreat, then do same thing again.
The dragon split 1-1-1-2 and 1-1-3 will each give a total of 6 frenzied dragon attacks without retal (3 rounds * 2, or 2 rounds * 3). 1-1-1-1-1 and 1-4 both give 4 frenzied dragon attacks with no retal.
If the vamps can be used, the 1-1-3 dragon split will save more spell points for the vamps than 1-1-1-2. I'm not sure if it can be won without vamps attacking.

Isn't this just an exersice in using ingame bugs? A true strategist would not get his troops caught like that. And if it was player vs player it would be hard to win.
True strategy to me is not finding out the weakness of the AI, but to be able to win an equal game against another good player by using the mind.
