I don same know what this thread is about, but I like all the neutrals - it's not just dragons and snipers that are good - skeletons made from peasants turn out quite well :) and on some map I played (maybe HoMM 3.5) I got a duel with one guy - he had 600 or 800 health and his speed was own wow :)
nomads have a positive effect on the turn, as for dragons - in my opinion, 2 crystal ones are better than 1 azure, but that's strictly my opinion.
Snipers rule, wizards.. hobbits are also okay - freebies are great everywhere, and using them to distract shooters is just the thing!
Well yeah, trolls are also not bad - damage+regeneration

What is there even to discuss here? It would be better if someone like Amber-Soler or VDV_forever wrote out various tricks :D :D :D :D like about nomads - super!
