Which creatures from the alternative upgrade options do you choose?

Well, if the opponent isn't an idiot, they wouldn't place two units in the path of the cavalry, so their ability might not even be useful. And ignoring defense will definitely work 100%.

So, according to you, it's possible to arrange troops on the map so that new cavalry units can't target more than one?:eek: Show it on a screenshot if you can. And considering that your own troops will also take up a lot of space + the cavalry has a large movement range... No matter how hard you try, it won't work. Of course, this doesn't apply to sieges.

battle mages have resistance,

And they protect their neighbors from magic ;)

And no one knows - do battle mages attack their own?

They do. Magic missile (or something like that) hasn't been canceled. You're probably confusing it with protecting allies from magic. Or is it just my memory failing me?:rolleyes:
