What would your ideal army look like?

No matter how long I play Heroes, the conversation about the ideal army always comes up. However, no matter how many times I try to assemble it, it always turns out to be worse overall than armies made up of native creatures. I agree with Drakkosha, specifically that you should base it on a single town and replace some units with stronger ones. As a fan of the glorious Fortress castle, I envision my "mixed" army with the following composition:
1. Centaurs
2. Archers
3. Flying Snakes
4. Royal Medusa
5. Gorgon
6. Wyvern
7. Hydra
This is, of course, not an ideal army, and the creatures in it are not the best in their "weight class." It's just that this army has fewer drawbacks than a typical Swamp army. For example, the Fortress lacks ranged units in its basic form, and instead of gnolls, I would like something with more health. And the Medusa, with the same "petrification" ability as Basilisks, also shoots. Sometimes I want to replace the Wyverns and Hydras, but then the atmosphere of the castle is disrupted. I am a hopeless fan of the Swamp.
