I apologize – I didn't read it carefully enough.
I don't think it happens too often. First, thieves are not that common on the map, and even less so are their dwellings. Second, if there are no dwellings, they rarely join. Third, there are dwellings, but they are too far away, so it's pointless to recruit them. In all other cases, why not use them?
As for "filling up" the army, it depends on how strong the army is. Let's say the army is strong, the thieves are weaker, all slots are filled, and you don't want to discard anyone, so why bother with the thieves? Conversely, if the army is weak.
As for the exact statistics, I don't think anyone has that information :)

Best regards, Draco

But still, the question is, how often do people (players) use thieves? And how often do they "ignore" them?

Hello everyone!
I use thieves often, especially when they join my army:)
The only time I don't use them is when my army is strong and there's no need to check morale. Also, if visions appear, I don't use them (after all, it's level 2:)).

I used to play as Kyra or Adelia often (or Roland as a last resort). Thieves are essential! Unless there are visions, of course.

I would be surprised if the Azure faction weren't the strongest.

Azure dragons and diamond golems are my favorite neutral creatures.

I like all dragons, but especially when there are many of them and they are in your army – it’s awesome to crush everyone with such beauty, everyone envies you. You feel like a king in those moments.

I always had one hero with BARBARIANS in my party to scout ahead!

Undoubtedly, thieves are good helpers, but they are useless in battle! Wizards and snipers are my favorites! And dragons are a completely different story.

Could you tell me which scenarios feature neutral dragons (and where they can be recruited)? Does the map generator create neutral creatures? I have "The Shadow of Death" and "In the Wake of Gods".

Hmm, crystal dragons used to be appealing. Now, it's not interesting at all in the gameplay to recruit anyone. By the way, regarding dragons, don't you think that the dragons looked better in the second part?

If there are resources and you need units, why not take advantage of it? But in my opinion, the most interesting graphics are in the first games... The only problem is that they are not as well-balanced as the third game.

In my opinion, diamond golems are the coolest. Of course, they can't compare to any neutral dragon, but they are more realistic to acquire. So, is it better to buy a lot of golems and build up your army, or not buy an army at all and invest everything in dragons, which are powerful but solitary?

and how does the strength of the strongest neutral creature (Lich Lord), for example, compare to the strength of the strongest castle creature (Archangel)?

LD versus Archa? You'll need about 10 Archons!!!
I recently tested something similar, but with Titans.

Nooo... Somewhere around 5 Archons should be enough.

Run the test yourself and tell me how many are enough and how many are not...
I'm saying around 10...
