Round table

What is there to substantiate? In SoD, Shakti rarely has his own golden +150 Troglodytes, while in HotA, 100+ is guaranteed, just as in standard situations in SoD. It turns out to be practically the same thing, only with leveling and +25% HP on level 7, HotA Troglodytes will hit much harder than SoD ones, so they whip through like a charm!

You're explaining it wrong. In SoD, 2-3 stacks are not uncommon for Shakti, which is 120-160 Troglodytes. In HotA, 100+ is not guaranteed—the spread is roughly 85-115. Few people play with experience, and it doesn't build up immediately, just like level 7. But still, the stack is very piercing; for example, a min Griffin Conservatory or a Dragon Fly Hive at 6-8, a rare castle will take it with the starting army.
