Minotaurs fit the Castle well, but their stats are lacking. Instead of "Bravery" (which is an unnecessary ability, in my opinion), it would be better to give them a +1 bonus to morale, like in Heroes 3. Then, either give them the speed of Orcs (6, I think) and a similar attack system (not 2 weak attacks, but 1 normal attack and a chance for 2), or give them something similar to the Orcs' second upgrade, or like the Armored Knights with protection from ranged attacks, so they would actually be useful. In general, I think the stats and abilities of Orcs from level 3 (excluding Rage, of course) would suit them very well.
P.S. Making phantoms out of the current Minotaurs seems pointless to me. What's the point? They'll just get close and be killed. They won't even do anything, like a Czech. It would be better to make phantoms out of Furies, Matriarchs, or someone else.
