Ancient Horrors (they sound ridiculous, like Hippos) are the most unbalanced monsters. If you compare them within the context of the entire game, not just a 1v1 battle, they are the STRONGEST. Although, more accurately, they are the most... cheaty. You can obtain a Horror on day 6-7 (if the option for level 6 is enabled – on level 7) of the first week. This says a lot. Firstly, it means easy clearing of all mines, wells, etc. And secondly, it provides a real opportunity to defeat 1-2 opponents, as you will have the strongest army (I don't know who, besides the Horrors themselves, can beat you). I don't know who would argue with that. And 1v1 is nonsense, as it rarely happens in a real battle, and if that's the case, then why compare it?)))

This is all, of course, just my IMHO – but my IMHO is not just four letters on a white background.
