Assassins are just dumb meat, they can't shoot, or rather, they don't deal any damage. And don't even mention poison, I always play as Necromancers, so I don't care. They're expensive and give little in return. They have a lot of HP, but what's the use? They can't kill anyone from a distance, and for close combat, they need to get close, but by the time they do, they're already dead. The same goes for Dryads; the wasp swarm doesn't affect the undead, so I don't care about them either. They fly fast, yes, but they die just as fast. Now, let's talk about Ghouls. Skeletons are UNDEAD, which means I can raise them with the Raise Dead spell, and after the battle, they remain with me in the same quantity as they were. Isn't that wonderful? Can you do that with your assassin? Or with a dryad? Never in your life. You rush, lose a few at each neutral stack, and by the time you reach the computer, your assassin numbers will be halved. But the undead army calmly recovers and remains in its original form. No other race can do that, which is why the Undead are the strongest.:rolleyes:
