Oh, sorry :) Let's not argue, okay? :) I understand the purpose of the poll literally; if it's not specified in the first post what the poll is about... whether it's about usefulness in an army, leveling up, stats, or something else... and by the way, if we're talking about it, with level 8, one stack, and Expert Armageddon, you can run around: with a leveled-up Archmage, Antichrist, Bear, Bird, and Dark/Diamond Dragons, but I think it's ridiculous... because running with one stack was relevant in Heroes 3, and also in Heroes 2 ;) but in Heroes of Might and Magic V, although it's effective, due to the introduction of the most terrible imbalance with the appearance of creature/commander leveling, you can't really rely on rushing and spell power.
P.S. In any case, even if we consider usefulness in an army, I won't change my point of view ;) Archmages are the best :))

Who, I wonder, fights with only one slot?

If you think about it, the Heroes of Might and Magic V team committed such a perversion :)) It's vandalism against Heroes 3, because you can easily complete campaigns, say, linearly like in the Chronicles, with 1 commander and a squire :DD that is, without a single stack of recruited creatures:smile54:
