Hmm, do Elves have a Machinist? And is the chance of getting Machines high?
Just take Daleb and Ossir and compare – who is faster? And then – Talanar and Grok. And there’s a very high chance that Grok will get Machines on his first level-up. And with Machines, Inferno simply tears through neutrals. But the Elf – it just slows things down, flying Dryads back and forth...

Yes, regarding the Ranger having more mana:

In terms of resources, the chances of increasing the Ranger's characteristics are:
OffenceProb15/OffenceProb
DefenceProb45/DefenceProb
SpellpowerProb10/SpellpowerProb
KnowledgeProb30/KnowledgeProb
And for the Demon:
OffenceProb45/OffenceProb
DefenceProb10/DefenceProb
SpellpowerProb15/SpellpowerProb
KnowledgeProb30/KnowledgeProb

Which is higher? And considering that it also consumes corpses... And the Ranger needs to wait for Druid-grade to replenish mana...
