And if we're talking about logistics, IMO, you can't do without it in the late game. Enhancing it allows you to determine the time of the encounter, as it suits you, because if necessary, the opponent won't even be able to catch up to you. And Arghat also has the excellent ability to move without any movement penalties by level 25, making him a kind of "all-terrain vehicle." This will also deprive the enemy of the advantage if you happen to outrun him in his own territory. So, in my opinion, you're underestimating it :)
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
