I tried to identify 10 of the most interesting and tactically rich matchups, and here's what I came up with:
10.) Vittorio - Anven - This pairing is much debated; currently, most believe Anven is stronger (I have a slightly different opinion). The dragons of Anven somewhat spoil the fun, as they are unpredictable and can wipe out half the army. Overall, with Vittorio, you need to be patient and fight to the end, even though it may seem hopeless at first.
09.) Ossir - Iris. This is the most popular pairing on the server due to its apparent simplicity, but there's still a lot to consider.
08.) Ravena - Deirdra. You have to try very hard to win with Deirdra, but it's worth it.
07.) Ravena - Letos. A pairing for true connoisseurs.
06.) Hagesh - Shaq Qarukat. You have to think about every move here. There are tactics and counter-tactics. Hagesh intimidates the wyvern for most of the battle.
05.) Marbas - Letos. It's a bit more challenging to play as Letos here. But both have many different spell combinations, which is interesting.
04.) Orson - Letos. This pairing is very appealing to me. Not everything is obvious in it. Letos casts Dominate and alternates slows. A lot depends on the amount of mana – 60 or 105 makes a difference.
03.) Vittorio - Axel. A classic. The hallmark of version 3.1.
02.) Vittorio - Ora. This pairing fought for 1st place but lost. To enjoy the game, you don't need to use Armageddon; I recommend setting aside some mages to remove magic and enjoy the tactics.
01.) Jallib - Vittorio. This is the leader in terms of battle complexity; you need to think seriously about it, for both sides. At the same time, the battle can end quickly, for example, when vampirism is transferred to the Rakshasa.
So, the leaders in terms of complexity and tactics in my ranking are Vittorio and Letos. But you can argue about that...
