What would your ideal army look like?

Golems =) . The most optimal option. Against mages, an army of golems is like a tank against a kitten. In particular, Diamond Golems. In fact, it completely blocks magic; key low-level spells that have saved us more than once, such as Blindness, Lightning Strike, Magic Arrow, etc., are absolutely ineffective here. It is enough to have attack and defense skills of at least 8-10, and victory is already very close. Although, of course, there will be difficulties with armies of warrior-heroes). But golems are also good in melee combat, especially their high defense skill). This is just my opinion).
So, the list is something like this:
1) Great Elves
2) Golden Golems
3) Diamond Golems
4) Cyclops Kings
5) Steel Golems
6) Iron Golems
7) Archmages
