Discussion about Sylvan (Wood Elves).

My apologies... I forgot to mention... Regarding the casters... I'll send you a replay with casters now... It's all done easily... Only the fairies fly forward. 6 stacks of 2 fairies each, and it's fine.
By the way, I think you noticed that the hero has Ruthless Arrows. It's not my fault that the priests cast Dodge after the replay. I think it's a bug, and they always cast it against archers.

I watched the replay with the Druids. It's all great. But let's stick to not using Findan, because he's a hero from the Campaigns. And secondly, the initiative of the archers was miraculously raised to 13 ;) Besides, one stack of archers still took you down. Two or three squads of druids on the map, and you're worn out. And if we consider the standard conditions (a hero from the Generic set, not Companies), the standard initiative of the archers, then the losses would be many times greater. It's better not to attack such powerful casters with weak troops. You can defeat the Druids by having a Ring of Protection from Lightning (which you can often find) and decent resistance, for example, take a couple of old, seasoned rogues with you, then the risk is not so great, and even then only if absolutely necessary (passage, important artifact).

Besides, I noticed that the archers are already at level 80. And that's at least the third week (if with an external dwelling - a dwelling) or the fourth if without. That is, you can have an expert-level light mage with resurrection and freely defeat them with dragons.

P.S. Thank you for bringing a new perspective to the discussion; this is truly a discussion with evidence.

You're welcome :)
