Discussion about Sylvan (Wood Elves).

Let's continue on this topic. Neutrals are always a valid argument. Some players grab the maximum number of Utopia artifacts in the third week, while others break through to the Treasury on the fourth week using a monster with a power of 45 – these are all quite significant arguments. From the discussion, it seemed to me that not everyone realizes that there are advantages to Emerald Mines beyond just the attack range, whether it's five or two tiles – it doesn't matter. So, I simply tried to share some strategic insights. Sorry if it's not interesting.

No, it's interesting. I just meant that clearing neutrals is one thing, but facing an opponent's main hero, for which our hero should be "optimized," is a completely different matter.
Orson, for example, can take Utopia artifacts in the 1st or 2nd week with 4 Vampires, so what?
I've also seen how Nura defeats 30+ Cyclops with a couple of Goblins...
That's why I say that a replay of a battle with neutrals doesn't necessarily indicate that the hero will be stronger than the enemy.

Now, regarding the strategy of leveling up two heroes – doesn't it bother you that some Warlock or Orc might show up just when the first hero has stopped actively leveling up, and the second hasn't yet gained enough power? And they will be much stronger because they spent all their experience on themselves, rather than splitting it between two. And since our army is also divided in half according to your method – one has dragons, and the other has everything else – you might end up struggling to recruit enough units because you won't have enough money...

And, by the way, regarding resistance against spellcasters – they "know" when a spell will be deflected and simply attack. Only Pitys and Water Elementals can't attack, so they still cast spells. But if there's an opportunity to attack, they will.
