As for me, I liked them. :) Even though for some reason they are wingless, they are still beautiful :p But I've only fought them, haven't hired any yet :( They aren't weak, to tell the truth...
Water monsters are strong, whether it's Fish or mermaids (do they have hypnosis? or am I confusing something). I've run into them more than once, barely escaping with my life, and even then only if the mage is strong :cool:
Raging bulls are also a trick :) Very strong + immunity.
But has anyone checked out the catapults? :D in my opinion, nothing special, the only advantage is area-of-effect shooting. But as for strength, they aren't impressive :rolleyes:
