Okay... you're saying that the Light's priority is to avoid losses. I understand that to mean avoiding losses on neutral territories. Or are you planning to resurrect units in the final stage? Good luck; unprotected League units will fall 10% faster, and that's all you'll achieve.

If you listen to that, what does it mean? Can you inflict so much extra damage with a punishing strike that you can destroy a dozen level 7 creatures? That's nonsense.

Really?
If the punishing strike, which gives +12 to attack, only guaranteed the death of level 7 creatures...
And in general, does Chaos often kill "a dozen" creatures?
I rarely see anything like that.
Unless it's against computer opponents on giant maps.
But even there, you can win by just pumping up your magic skills and not taking any magic.

Just so you know, I once played on a huge map against someone, playing as Sylvan against the League.
I had 16 crystal dragonlings.
I attacked a Castle...
The enemy had a Stronghold + Lucky Sorcerer + 2 League Castles + dragons were a suitable element. Shock wiped out 14.
So, talking about "dozens" of level 7 creatures so easily doesn't really make sense.
