What's with all the hate for Gargoyles? And Gremlins too? They make a great duo at the beginning of the game, allowing you to easily defeat neutral creatures, but after that, yes, they become almost useless. Just cannon fodder.

Why don't you like Gargoyles so much?) And Goblins too?) They form a duo at the beginning of the game, thanks to which you can easily defeat neutral creatures, but after that, yes, they become almost useless. Cannon fodder.

I don't feel that way about them, and cannon fodder is also needed, even necessary...

Very beautiful! Especially considering they live in the desert!

They live in the sky, and below that is the desert, to be precise...

But when you capture a castle, it's standing on sand! Does it fall?

The best duo for mages (not counting rakshasa and titans) is goblins and golems (goblins heal golems)!

the best combination for mages is the new upgrade for gargoyles/golems and the hero, followed by blasting the enemy with magic. if you have golems, it's even better for you; you'll be able to heal them just as well as gremlins.

visually, I like almost all of them, even the gargoyles, but the new ones fly even slower, which is annoying.
and the new mages are somehow unappealing. They have veils on their faces and painted eyes... honestly, I initially thought they were women. But when they started casting "fist" and whispering in an old voice, I realized how wrong I was.

The new mages are like natural-born kamikazes, they're actually pretty cool guys.

The old upgrade looks more familiar and aesthetically pleasing than the new one!

And I didn't say it was the best)) at the beginning of the game, not every map gives you a forge so you can use Golems from the first turn, so for some time you have to fight without them, that is, with Gargoyles and Gremlins.

I really like the Archmage. That's awesome! But since I don't play as the Academy, I'm very afraid of them.

Mages (like druids) are very dangerous units, much more dangerous than regular ranged units. No matter how many you attack, the magic damage doesn't decrease significantly. Moreover, Academy mages shoot through units, which is very useful when fighting against an enemy army. Sometimes you can hit three or even four units at once (but this happens more often against AI, as a real player will take this into account and move their troops accordingly). Yes, I like the mage's dagger; it's not as good as the Lich's, but it's still cool.

no, it's just a regular, poorly made dagger; nothing original. What I appreciate about the new mages is that they don't harm their own units with their attacks. That's a big plus.

I didn't say it was original. I just like it. And regarding the fact that they don't attack their own units: it made playing as the Academy much easier, a nice improvement...

The Academy has undergone significant improvements, both aesthetically and technically. I must say that I like all the new upgrades, especially the gargoyles and rakshasas. The Titans are slightly weaker, but that's a minor issue. I find it amusing how the gargoyles bash enemies with a stone book.

Finally, the Titans got a decent look... because it wasn't very pleasant to play as residents of third-world countries before.
