Thought human shepherd could be possible but with all these changes? Is shepherd any good anymore? Human war hero?

Do you really have to ask? Anyways not going Gnome for a serious A/T is probably a mistake, whenever you see a gnome assumeing that its a hybrid A/T is probably reasonable enough a assumption, because they most likely are.
Im gonna say:
Gnome/Warrior
Gnome/Warhero
Gnome/Cleric
Gnome/Sage
should all make fine Attack/thieves.
lol at posting gnome/war hero and not gnome/rogue...
Anything with cleric is a failure.

Cleric isn't a failure for gnome ; )
Cleric is weak, there are much better options for a gnome.

You don't even need a full chain; 3 hits on a cleric and it will be overpopped to hell. -20% losses AND perma-animate dead?
reason I didnt list /rogue is because most thieves just use NSs... as long as you have that your good to go.
rogue doesnt do much for the attacker part of your Attacker/thief province.
Thus why I didnt list it, but instead warrior,sage,cleric,warhero.
nfidel2k, a active province could just send out soldiers to other KD members or release them into peasentry.
Rogue gives +33% NS power, that's way better for an A/T than what war hero gives for example. The choice is between warrior and rogue imo.

People choose Rogue for the +1 stealth, not the extra ops. It will always be a top choice for thieves.
Merchant shouldn't be overlooked either. You can run a higher draft, raising your tpa, since your economy will be automatically stronger.
I went with Gnome/Sage for A/T this age. Anticipating lots of Undeads, I want to avoid plague. Plus I'll be able to boost my modifiers quickly for the short age, especially food since my people will be hungry.
Any race can pull off A/T. The more obvious choices are Gnome and Human with Elf and Delf behind them. Since it's a short age, I would go with Gnome since they have the headstart on Humans. Though if played right, Humans can catch up fairly quickly. Gnome is the easier choice IMO.
Though I have to say, prepare for the onslaught. There's going to be lots of Orcs and Undeads out there giving us Gnomes the glad eye.
Though I'm biased. A/T is my prefered style of play and Gnome is my fav race. My top 3 choices are: (in no particular order)
Gnome/Rogue
Gnome/Merchant
Gnome/Sage
The Cleric (new)
* Spell effect Animate Dead is always active
* -20% troop losses on all attacks
ON ALL ATTACKS... im thinking that means only offense, not on defense. I cant wait to confirm this.
The World is out there. We are stuck inside Here.
