Discussion about Sylvan (Wood Elves).

Not quite... More like a Knight or Barbarian (archers are very strong, especially at level 2, and level 3 is also good, while Warlocks have unimpressive units, in my opinion, like Minotaurs), and Warlocks aren't very good (unless they sacrifice city development and build a strong guild right away).

Are peasants for Humans and goblins for Orcs really that good?
No, the best ones at the start (in my opinion) are Dungeon (Assassins harass from a distance + Furies (they're like archers, but only within an 8-cell radius, and without the penalty + intelligence is twice as high as archers from Haven) and Minotaurs are there to protect those Furies and Assassins), and Sylvan (a great level 3 unit), who can defeat level 1 units without a fight, and has a cool ability at level 2. But I still don't like playing Sylvan because of the constant wood shortage.
