It seems like you're arguing with thin air... You focused on speed for dogs, demons, and hellspawn... but you didn't consider griffons with speed, which can reach magi in one turn and eliminate half of them, and also retaliate against everyone who attacks? Or reckless archangels, 2 archers who are 200% stronger than magi. By the way, about the hole in the wall... only a fool would attack a Castle through a hole in the wall! You didn't consider that in 80% of cases, the Castle has a Water Expert... Imagine cavalry that teleports creatures behind the Castle wall and destroys half the army! (well, the Crusaders, due to their double attack, stay to protect the archers from the insatiable devils) =) So, see who benefits and what the result is =)
and it's not necessarily about defending against the Castle. It could be, for example, against the Necropolis.

MY FRIEND EVEN PLAYS AS ELVES, CAPTURES CASTLES, AND HIRES CREATURES OF LEVEL 8 FROM ALL CASTLES. Well, you can't make him change his mind
