Well, they are almost relatives!:D Both are almost mages, and they are both large. But you can't confuse them; the messengers have a flaw, that is, a braid. And don't you think that assassins look a bit like riders, and furies look a bit like witches?:D
I'm just constantly comparing the fifth game to the third. And in the third, it's simply impossible to confuse liches with death knights, even if you're completely drunk:D :D
In general, I liked the units in the fifth game more. They seem more lively, somehow (sorry for the pun - we're talking about the undead), more realistic.
