Which means 1 slot in a stack is already going to be occupied by a leader and second slot would be occupied by a hero most of the time, with other 4 stacks having their first slot occupied by heroes. It needs another unit to support and you can't afford to bring in supports when there are so few slots in the army! So if I have a choice between bringing in 6 normal combat units or 3 normal combat units with 3 supports, bringing 6 normal combat units is much better almost all the time! Additionally, most of the fighting in this game happens with heroes and leader stacks.

Basically, 1 support is useless on its own.

Having only 6 slots makes all support units much much more worthless, because their role is supporting other units, but you can't properly bring any supports when you already have so few slots to put your units in there. It is a big part of a reason why support units are very underused in age of wonders. Hi, Triumph Studios! There are some issues I found with Age of Wonders 4 which I want to note for you:ġ)Having only 6 units in a stack is way too little.
