Since you're having such a heated discussion, I'd like to add a few words to clarify the situation:

This is my Moon from the screenshot posted by zoog, from our game. Diplomacy came to her quite late, but immediately after taking the Mermaids, because there was a lot of money for recruitment. Moreover, the recruitment was quite expensive financially, and if it weren't for the million Mermaids further on, the army would have been much smaller than what's there (some minor units were given to the Loshaks, but that's not the point), because there weren't many willing to fight for free. + Gradually, the Underground Cartographer, Control, and Visions skills were acquired. Dragon Descent came very late, and with it, you could already recruit hardcore units, but the opponent made a good mistake, which I took advantage of.

But, if you pay attention to the Spell Power, the Book of Fire + the Amplifier, and the Titan Armor lying in the backpack, you can see that there is an Armageddon spell with 3255 damage. A couple of hit-and-run attacks with this Moon on a Phoenix against this army, and only the birds and the elemental mage will survive. This is regarding the argument that it's "overpowered and can't be countered."

At the same time, if I didn't have Diplomacy, zoog probably wouldn't have let me near the treasure where I got the Amplifier and the Book, because I had to put pressure on him at that time using meat and stats.

Regarding morale, there was an amulet +3 to morale and luck in the backpack.

That's the story.
