Haven – "Everything is mixed up, truth and falsehood" [Campaign 3 – Mission 2]

What’s so great about Antoshka? +15% to aerial attack is insignificant.

At least he’s a story-driven hero. And his abilities aren’t that important for good players.
15% isn’t much worse than 3% per shot. You can take out archers with griffins just as well as with crossbowmen.

In that case, crossbowmen will be blocked first, and secondly, when the same cavalry units are fighting on the front lines, you might have to wait or even skip turns so as not to hit your own units.

The damage of ONE stack of archers is definitely less than the damage of FIVE stacks of melee units. I’ve said everything, there’s nothing more to add.
Hiding and camping is not interesting at all...

Really? You can hit several stacks at once with crossbows, dealing significant damage. If there are no defenders nearby, they’re doomed. Especially enemy sprites and sisters.

Of course, the AI doesn’t place guards properly. It’s interesting to see what your camping tactics will lead to when playing against a human who will destroy your stack of crossbowmen.

And what about the fact that they don’t upgrade? :)

Are you sure you looked carefully? They do upgrade. In one city. In the upper left.

Buggy cavalry definitely doesn’t rule. Sprites hit hard, yes, but they will never withstand focus fire.

*secretly* the fact that the damage numbers in the tooltip don’t increase with range doesn’t mean that the cavalry is buggy ;)
and they attack without retaliation. How about three turns of cavalry in a row (and with waiting – all four)?
