Which creatures from the alternative upgrade options do you choose?

by the way, light is not as useless as you think.

It's true that it's not useless, but where will it get the spells for high-level creatures? Perhaps from Utopia, from the magic repository, or from the pyramids. I just think that it would be better to get Darkness and Summoning.

if we're talking about the damage from Hydras, then it's a really bad ability. There are few Hydras. They are expensive. Besides, without regeneration, they die in a crowd of enemies. If the damage were at least half as much, it might be worth considering...

But it hits several squares, and if a strong unit that killed many Hydras attacks, this blood magic can even turn out to be stronger than a retaliatory attack. Besides, it's not great for the enemy to attack a Hydra if it constantly deals damage.

in the final battle, if the best thing you can do is summon a dozen slow Pit Lords, then I don't think you did anything right. So, it's not a mega-trump card. Just something to play around with.

Once, I had a situation where in a decisive battle, almost all the units on my side and on my opponent's side died, but the Devils remained intact. There were about 35 of them, I think. Well, they summoned 72 Lords. And it turned out that the opponent had nothing to kill them with. (He had a squad of Unicorns and Ents left, as well as some remaining Archers, I don't remember the number, but they could have killed the Devils). The number of summoned Lords is 2 for each Devil, provided there are enough hit points on the corpse. Still, that's a lot.
