How do you manage to win tough battles?

Most likely, it's by overwhelming the opponent with numbers, as you can build up to level 4 faster than your rival. And they arrive right away :) I can't think of any other strategies for using champions... Since champions are the choice of a player with limited resources. I don't think there can be any other motivation for building them. Angels are superior in terms of price/quality ratio in any case. Although, of course, a player with angels can lose to a player with champions if the latter is more experienced ;) But we are discussing units here, not strategists.

I used to always build monks, now I build crusaders. If I have many castles, I build both in a ratio of approximately 4:6 for 10 castles. Although, both are good.

By using two types of level 3 units at once, you are sacrificing one hero... which would definitely be useful. And besides, you are reducing the striking power of both resulting stacks. But since you mentioned a large number of castles, you probably meant playing against the AI? If so, then any choice will work, what else is there to discuss :smile02:

you won't get far when you are cornered by all sorts of trash. you won't be able to move, let alone go in circles. and again - it depends on the terrain.

And who can corner champions with "trash" except for the Nature faction? I don't think anyone else can. Other races simply don't have that much trash to spare :) And if that's the case, then it turns out that the only weakness of champions is their vulnerability to druids? I'm not trying to "defend" them, these units are quite mediocre, but it is worth noting that their speed boost combined with the first strike ability is a serious cause for concern.

that's what I'm saying. but even if there are a lot of them, as in the recent arenas - 64 champions or 32 angels to choose from - I ran a test battle - nothing can be done with champions, it's a clear loss. of course, provided that the opponent knows how to think and play a little.

I completely agree. If we consider the ratio of 2 champions = 1 angel, then the latter definitely win. However, if we are playing on a small, resource-poor map, where you can reach the opponent as early as the second week, then champions will show themselves to be a quite decent unit.
