Gray, you're getting carried away. Minotaurs have the best stats in the 5th game. They are excellent fighters. BUT! If Das started with three packs of them :)
And they will appear in his main stack only on turn 1-2-1, while trolls will keep growing for 2 months of the game. Of course, it's a cheat!
No one needs to prove that it's cool. Except for those "who reject the basics" (c) :)
In my opinion, after Necromancy, the biggest cheat in SoD is Shakti. Which, of course, was fixed in TE.
