Playing as the Legions (Disciples 2).

To be honest, I don't understand all these arguments. A lot depends on the map (availability of experience), the opponents, and who attacked first. Let's consider the situation where no one has buffed up or used potions. Otherwise, the one with more buffs and items will win anyway. Small map: you're unlikely to level up a demon higher than Moloch. As a result, it's much more advantageous to take a gargoyle. In the back row, it's better to have 2 Sorceresses (also, you probably won't have enough experience to level up an Incubus) + a warrior hero. There are no more units because there's no way to get another leadership point. Large map: here, there's room for creativity. Demons allow you to vary the composition depending on the opponents. Empire (strong melee): warrior hero, Tiamat, Hell Hound, 2 Modeus (in principle, almost any option is possible. The main thing is that their melee units either don't move or move only once). Undead: you need to somehow find out where the opponent is leveling up. So that it doesn't turn out that you have Incubuses and the rest are attacking with weapons, and they have undead. But I usually take a gargoyle (resistance to mind control), a warrior hero, 2 Modeus, and a Hell Hound. Gnomes (a lot of damage): it's hard to say what to do if they level up correctly. There's no point in taking an Incubus because it won't attack if the opponent plays correctly. My option: Hell Lord, warrior hero, Hell Hound, 2 Modeus. We try to counter damage with damage. Elves: here, the main thing is to quickly eliminate their melee units and get to the Marauders or just kill them quickly. The easiest way to do this is with 2 Modeus (stunners don't move anyway), Tiamat, a warrior + a warrior hero. In total, there are many strategies, and each has its own. But you can't say that "my build is the only way to play." Everything changes depending on the opponent's game. P.S.: It's very effective to level up a lot of heroes and give each one Dopplegangers. The opponent won't be able to handle 2-3 such squads. I made about 15-16. Hero + 3 Dopplegangers. It only performs poorly against the Empire. They can heal all the damage you inflict.
