GO FOR IT, NEWBIE!!!

In reality, the amount of guarding creatures and what you get in the Pandora's Box depends on: 1). The value of the units guarding the Pandora's Box (there's a complete table available if you search for it!); 2). The value of the contents of the Pandora's Box (this information is also publicly available); 3). The map template and its specific zone, namely - each zone usually has its own monster strength (if weak monsters populate the starting spawn points on Jebus, then in the sandy center they are already strong - which is a significant difference); 4). The week (starting from week 121, the guard strength increases by approximately 10% each week); 5). A special coefficient (but this is already a dark forest for me - I have to estimate it by eye, like with the Fortitude stat) - I guess correctly in 85-90% of cases with reasonable accuracy, and even if I miscalculate the number, it rarely leads to a loss - maybe 1 in 20-30 games...). Added after 44 minutes A small tip, in case someone didn't know (or didn't notice): upgraded neutral creatures always look to the left, and non-upgraded ones look to the right (sometimes this helps during scouting, when you can only see the edge of a unit: it helps you decide whether it's worth going there, or if the speed is 5 and something can be easily defeated, or 7 - and then there will be problems, etc.).
