Archangel – I don’t think there’s any debate here. I’d give 2nd place to the Death Knight – agree, the HP reserve, immunity to magic, and attack on two units are pretty good.
I’d give 3rd place to the Titans for their HP and decent damage.

In such an example, with equal hero stats (specifically, 0 in both morality and luck), the Ancient Wonders have no chance, IMO. The number of lives and abilities don't stand a chance against the Archangel's turn priority and the unit's stats.

Second place goes to the Black Dragons. Archdevils are unable to defeat them in a 1-on-1 battle, and Titans also can't handle them...

It's a shame that it's not possible to record videos in Heroes of Might and Magic III. I would demonstrate it.

It's a pity that you can't record videos in the third game. I would demonstrate.

You can demonstrate. Create a map in the editor, place the specified units, conduct a series of 1-on-1 battles between Black Dragons, Titans, and Archangels, then upload it and maybe reconsider your point of view... :)

In general, I created a video, and I'll upload it tomorrow. It will be in the sav format; rename it to avi. The battle will be between an Archdevil, first against a Titan, and then against a Black Dragon. The quality isn't great, but everything is visible, albeit slowly. I'll say right away that I play fairly, without any cheats, etc. Everything is visible there.

Basically, I created a video, and I'll upload it tomorrow. It will be in the .sav format; rename it to .avi. The battle features an Archdevil, first against a Titan, and then against a Black Dragon. The quality isn't great, but everything is visible, albeit slowly. I'm playing fairly, without any cheats or anything. Everything is visible there.

It will be interesting to watch... And are you perhaps confusing it with another part of the Heroes series? :)

In a one-on-one battle, the ancient monster defeats the archangel. That's how it is.
However, for me, the topic of this thread is relevant in this context: when capturing a castle, will I buy a small number of level 7 creatures there (around 3), or will I spend resources and gold on upgrades?
Archangels, in my opinion, look better than all the others. Phoenixes are also good (considering their quantity). I take Black Dragons if I expect battles with a powerful mage.

Well, I did say it, but no one believes me. Regarding the Archangel, I can only say that he is the strongest. Losing 1-on-1 doesn't mean anything; even the computer considers him the strongest. But we also have a small dispute brewing about the second place, specifically in 1-on-1 hand-to-hand combat. I say it's the Archdevil, but again, no one believes me. I'll have to post a video to prove it.

In a one-on-one battle, the Ancient Behemoth defeats the Archangel. That's how it is.

Hmm... well, I suggest the following alternative:
Let's play a game where you use a hero with 1 Ancient Behemoth, and I'll use a hero with 1 Archangel. :) In case of a morale loss, we'll have to replay, of course. The heroes should be some Elementals with zero Attack and Defense stats.
And when you lose (and you will lose), you'll write in large text that the Archangel is unmatched in single combat. :)

Because, frankly, I'm tired of seeing such statements, especially after so many pages of discussion and clearly not from a newbie in this game.

Hmm...
First round.
Arch deals 78 damage. Monster responds with 66 damage.
Monster deals 66 damage. Arch responds with 78 damage.
Second round.
Arch deals 78 damage. Monster responds with 66 damage.
Monster deals 66 damage. Arch is defeated.
That's what happened...

Well, no, things are not quite like that. :) Firstly, the Archangel deals 80 damage to the Monster, I just checked it myself. The Monster deals 49-82 damage to the Archangel. As you can see, it's not a given that it will always be 66. Where did you even get that number from? Okay, it's not that important. The algorithm is as follows: 1. The first turn is for the Archangel, and it waits. The Monster must either make a move or defend itself. Which, in principle, is almost the same: +3 to defense reduces damage by only 4-5 points, it seems. In any case, the Archangel needs exactly 4 hits to defeat the Monster. And the Monster needs at least 4 hits to win. Therefore, after waiting for the end of the turn, the Archangel flies in and attacks the Monster. In total, each side has made 1 attack. 2. At the beginning of the second round, the Archangel attacks again and receives a counter-attack. In total, each side has made 2 attacks. The Monster also attacks and, in turn, receives a counter-attack from the Archangel. Each creature has made 3 attacks. 3. In the third round, the Archangel finishes off the opponent and no longer receives a counter-attack, because its attack will be the last. :) In general, there's a catch here. The fact is that if the Archangel immediately jumps into battle, it will die. But simply pressing the "wait" button in the first round guarantees it a 100% victory. That's how things really are. :)

Are you sure you used the heroes from the beginning?
The thing is, the archer's damage should be 50*(1+(30-19)*0.05)=77.5.
Now, look. When defending against hippos on the first turn, the damage is reduced to 50*(1+(30-22)*0.05)=70.
In principle, due to the higher initiative, the archer should win on the first turn (4 attacks against three).
By the way, what about increasing the number of units? Will you check that?

by the way, who's betting on the Archdevil in a 1v1 against the Titan and the Black Dragon?

Hmm... well, I propose the following alternative:
let's play a game where you fight me with a hero who has 1 Ancient Horror, and I'll have a hero with 1 Archangel. :) If morale drops, we'll have to replay, of course. The heroes will be some Elementals with zero Attack and Defense stats.
And when you lose (and you will lose), you'll write in large text that the Archangel is unmatched in single combat. :)

:smile40: :smile40: :smile40:

P.S.:
In this scenario, the Horror only needs TWO hits to take down the Archangel. Just as you described - the Archangel waits, the Horror defends. Then the Archangel attacks twice and, from the recoil, falls asleep.

The Dragon and Titan will defeat one Archdevil. I'm also taking bets on the Archdevil :D :D :D

I meant the Archdevil and the Titan separately, and then against the Dragon. Many people think the Archdevil will lose in hand-to-hand combat, but I know the opposite is true

Yes, I was just kidding, Source...
Tell me in order - the stats of the heroes and the battle scheme.
