And why didn't you use the Transformer to turn Troglodytes into Skeletons? If on 111 there are random heroes with a large number of low-level troops in the tavern, then IMO you should definitely transform them into Skeletons.
Pros:
- no morale penalties
- more health points - instead of 4-5 per unit, you get 6 health points for Skeletons, i.e., you increase the army by 20%.
I was so upset about the block that the Transformer slipped my mind. It didn't even occur to me after the game
