Apparently, you either need to heavily invest in him or not bother with him at all if it's not absolutely necessary. That's how "rush" strategies usually play out:D
And having your main hero attack "rush" units is not a kingly thing to do!)

In what way?)) Also keep in mind that this is often the time when you've either already taken the Dragon Utopia spending a fair amount of life steal, or are just about to, and for such a loser with 7 SP and a basic Chain Lightning, you need reaaaally a lot of life steal. And what do you mean by not touching him if it's not critical? Just let him capture your Castles and scout your territory peacefully?) Losers like that who have gotten close to one of your cities are usually killed off by the main fast powerful (this doesn't necessarily mean "OP") units, like a few Angels and a stack of ducks, so as not to lose too many. But with Armageddon present, given the positive effect, it becomes an easy autolose.

No, that's just not fair!))) It means the opponent has to somehow struggle to find Armageddon, Efreet, or Phoenixes with burn (considering they also want to take Dragon Utopia), level up a hero to 7 SP and send all that your way! And you just want to easily counter it with your main army on a fool without any particular cost or hassle. Have a conscience and also designate some support unit with good magic and burn)))

Armageddon should definitely be a 5th-level spell, just like it was in "one of the versions."

In "version 1," there was experience gained from troops, and the stacks of viv-angels were larger in number. Also, antimagic was a multi-school spell, so it was present in almost all final builds. Because of this, there were no problems with arcanum.

What you described has no effect whatsoever on the fact that this spell clearly belongs at level 5. I would say it is clearly more useful, stronger, and used more often than Sacrifice. Swapping them seems like the optimal solution to me. No one will be shouting "hurrah!" upon receiving a level 4 Sacrifice in a shrine.

Moving Armageddon to level 5 will double the chances of finding it in the Dragon Utopia. Therefore, the effect may be opposite to what is expected. But it will decrease the chance of building Armageddon in the guild. So it might not happen. That's why I called this proposal controversial.

If the problem is specifically with shrines, then it should be solved from the side of the shrines. Especially since the level of Armageddon is "canon," while 4th-level shrines are HotA's innovation, so they are treated with less reverence.

What you described in the first paragraph is exactly what solves the problem that people mentioned above))) You can get a lot of things in the Abyss, so go ahead and take that Abyss creature. But a Shrine level 4 and a Guardian level 4 are very, very easy to obtain, and it's not comparable to the impact of an early Arcomage on the game.

So far, out of all the Arcomages I've seen in streams, 100% of them were used in the final stages after the initial setup. I haven't seen anyone "build an early Arcomage and immediately defeat their opponent" even once. Perhaps it happened to someone, but given the rarity of this event, changing the Canon specifically for it seems like a dubious idea. In my opinion, a different idea should be explored.

When you suggest an idea, think about whether it will actually help. And what to do if it doesn't help? The approach of "added -> turned out to be bad -> reverted" is not a kosher way to balance the game.

I am absolutely certain that swapping Arcomage and Sacrifice is a positive solution.
