But if you manage to get a level 3 Consulate with 2 Angels (and in a real game, you usually get both a growth bonus and a book, so this is very realistic), you get a very powerful stack of 5 Angels, which is much easier and more enjoyable to play with than 3 Angels and the scraps left over from the castle's growth after taking the Consulate.
Where does the powerful stack of 5 Angels come from if one was lost? There will be 4 Angels. And in the case of the horses, there will be 3 Angels + 4 horses + the remaining units. This option is not only stronger, but it will also be enough for a couple of battles, including a maximum-level one, for example. And the 4 Angels will run around it, drooling and looking for some growth bonus.

By the way, there is another drawback to the horse option: if there are no external stables nearby, you have to bother with building a large hippodrome; otherwise, it is not worth going to the Consulate with more than the minimum number of units in the large stack.
