	*'''Sisterhood ~~Panter~~ Chariot:''' Chariots hauled by panthers? Your big nun unit, they lose Headstrong, but keep Vicious and increase to Thunderous Charge (2). They put out a lot of attacks with a speed between the Paladin Knights and Sisterhood Panther Lancers. Good at putting up a lot of damage, although they cost a lot of points.		*'''Sisterhood Panther Chariot:''' Chariots hauled by panthers?

	*'''Phoenix:''' The Phoenix is a pretty wonderful monster, who is very different from most of the Monsters in the game. Unlike most monsters, the phoenix isn't really all that powerful at melee, although it does have Crushing Strength (1). Instead, the Phoenix has Breathe Attack (10), Heal (7), Inspiring, Regeneration (4+), and Iron Resolve. This makes the Phoenix a surprisingly good support unit, being the best healer in the army, while still being inspiring as well. The Phoenix's Fire breath also gives it an edge in the ranged department, adding to it's versatility. And of course, the Phoenix does fly, in case you need to quickly fly over to help one part of your army or just to cause chaos behind enemy lines. Until you are able to bring in Samacris into your army, the Phoenix will serve you quite well as a support character.		*'''Phoenix:''' The Phoenix is a pretty wonderful monster, who is very different from most of the Monsters in the game.

	*'''Paladin Knights:''' Horse cavalry for your paladins. They come with Headstrong and Thunderous Charge (2). They hit on a 3+ with the same number of attacks as Sisterhood Panther Lancers, but at a noticeable points cost increase. They do hit harder and survive longer though, making a good increase in value for the points difference, if though slightly less maneuverable. Somewhat of a toss up depending on what exactly you want your cavalry to do for your army.		*'''Paladin Knights:''' Horse cavalry for your paladins.

They do hit harder and survive longer though, making a good increase in value for the points difference, if though slightly less maneuverable. Somewhat of a toss up depending on what exactly you want your cavalry to do for your army. Remember that once they take melee damage though, they lose thunderous charge in the following turn, significantly lowering their effectiveness. Highly recommended that one take a brew of strength to give them crushing blow.

	*'''Sisterhood Panther Lancers:''' Kitty cavalry for your battle nuns. These have Nimble, Thunderous Charge (1), and Vicious. The extra pivot is nice and they're cheaper than their paladin brethren, but their damage output isn't as good. The sisters hit on a 4+ with a ~~re-roll on 1s~~, ~~vice~~ the paladins hitting on a 3+, but paladins get a ~~better~~ +2 to damage ~~rolls instead of the sister's +1~~. Defence is a lot worse, at 3+ against 5+ on the paladins, but again they are more maneuverable and cheaper.		*'''Sisterhood Panther Lancers:''' Kitty cavalry for your battle nuns.

Defence is a lot worse, at 3+ against 5+ on the paladins, but again they are more maneuverable and cheaper.

	*'''Abbess:''' If you are running a lot of sisterhood, she is great for being very inspiring for them. Otherwise, she is strictly worse than the Dictator. On a panther she can be a hilarious flanker in a smaller game.		*'''Abbess:''' If you are running a lot of sisterhood, she is great for being very inspiring for them.

	*'''Abbess on Chariot:''' In terms of being a leader, the Abbess of Chariot is no better than the regular Abbess: she helps her sisters, but nobody else. However, taken as simply a chariot she is only slightly less effective than a regiment of them, but is significantly more durable, cheaper, and can use hero only magic items. Remember as a chariot she still can get double or treble attacks on flanking charges, and she is the cheapest hero slot that can do that in the list.		*'''Abbess on Chariot:''' In terms of being a leader, the Abbess on Chariot is no better than the regular Abbess: she helps her sisters, but nobody else.

Remember as a chariot she still can get double or treble attacks on flanking charges, and she is the cheapest hero slot that can do that in the list.

	*'''Bearer of the Holy Icon:''' Your cheap source of inspiration. He's a basic, single attack hero with Inspiring. As simple and bare bones as you can get. He is dirt cheap though, so you can almost always fit one in if you need it. Good for keeping large groups of infantry in your bubble if you are building towards a large horde.		*'''Bearer of the Holy Icon:''' Your cheap source of inspiration.

	*'''Priest:''' Like an Abbess, put for penitents. The priest however can also be reasonably useful in a general list, as he has both Heal and the ability to gain Bane-Chant as well making him a versatile support character for not just a horde of penitents, but really any Basilean unit.		*'''Priest:''' Like an Abbess, put for penitents.

	*'''Dictator:''' A cheap general. He is halfway between a Bearer and a High Paladin. He has the armor and nerve of the High Paladin, without being headstrong or having quite as many attacks. As an individual however, his combat potential is severely nerfed in kings of war ~~however,~~ so the Dictator could be skipped for either a Bearer or War Wizard for a cheap hero.		*'''Dictator:''' A cheap general.

	*'''Gnaeus Sallustis:''' Gnaeus is essentially a straight upgrade on the Abbess on Chariot, getting a bit more durable and nimble, while also becoming more versatile for inspiring an army without sisters. If you are allowed special characters, Gnaeus is your best melee character who cannot fly.		*'''Gnaeus Sallustis:''' Gnaeus is essentially a straight upgrade on the Abbess on Chariot, getting a bit more durable and nimble, while also becoming more versatile for inspiring an army without sisters.

	*'''High Paladin on Griffin:''' Not quite as awesome as a dragon, and only slightly more durable than the cheaper Ur-Elohi. The High Paladin on a Griffin doesn't really fill any niche in the heroes slot, but if you like griffins, he'll serve you well.		*'''High Paladin on Griffin:''' Not quite as awesome as a dragon, and only slightly more durable than the cheaper Ur-Elohi.

	*'''Julius:''' Julius is a upgraded Ur-Elohi, doing everything they do, but strictly better in all respects. His biggest boon is having the only natural 6+ defense in the Basilean army. He also gains Elite if he and Samacris are both in your army and alive. He is cool, but ~~unclear~~ that ~~his personal benefits~~ make ~~him~~ worth ~~taking over an~~ Ur-Elohi, or a ~~High~~ Paladin on Dragon.		*'''Julius:''' Julius is a upgraded Ur-Elohi, doing everything they do, but strictly better in all respects. His biggest boon is having the only natural 6+ defense in the Basilean army. He also gains Elite if he and Samacris are both in your army and alive. He is cool, but he costs a ton that make you wonder if he is really worth 50% more expensive than a normal Ur-Elohi, or if you should simply spend a bit more and get a Paladin on Dragon.

	*'''Samacris, Mother of Phoenixes:''' Where Julius is very much a melee character, Samacris is the Basilean's super wizard, with powerful versions of fireball, lightning bolt, and heal. She also has regeneration like a phoenix. She is definitely a steal for her points in an army that is starved for good ranged attacks, and can use an inspirational angel who actually wants to stick around your basic rank and file instead of flying all over the board to get flank and rear charges.		*'''Samacris, Mother of Phoenixes:''' Where Julius is very much a melee character, Samacris is the Basilean's super wizard, with powerful versions of fireball, lightning bolt, and heal.
