an excellent unit. if you're lucky with the fear ability, it can even defeat Hydras...
;)
it's perfect for breaking the enemy formation, and with the right tactics, it can reach several enemy units.
the downside is the expensive buildings. and they die quickly if the enemy manages to move and focus on them. I like the old horses' appearance, but the new ones are kind of ugly, but the withering aura is, in my opinion, more useful than -2 to morale. -2 is unpleasant, but not critical; it may or may not work, but the aura always works. if it had -2 to luck...
and it's good that after their silly joke about the horse's price, the developers realized their mistake in the following versions and made the price reasonable (and, most importantly, lower).

the initiative is really great, no worse than that of Furies.

Nightmares, unicorns, liches, djinns.

Actually, it's -3;). And the withering aura is really more useful; it's practically +10 damage.

Really? So it used to be minus two...
In any case, the Cyclops' Gaze is more useful, in my opinion.

That's better, but the levels are different, and to make the ability work, you need to attack; it's simpler for Nightmares. But still, it's cool; with this ability, you can essentially negate leadership, and if the enemy's Battle Mage is neutral, it's even more terrifying!

That’s how new minotaurs are created from such creatures :-) . And in general, the aura of fear is a useful thing. It can ruin all plans.

In theory, yes. But in practice, it has never worked for me.

Liches and Inquisitors are good against archers, but Liches are better, especially if the enemies are grouped together...

As a fan of the Elves, I prefer Unicorns. Blind is great, the aura of resistance is great, and the magic light attraction is also great (Child of Light)! And they are also very strong (especially when led by Ilfina)!

Arcane Priests. First, they have ranged attacks, second, they have magic, and third, they look good.

Djinn, of course. In my opinion, they are wonderful creatures.

100% and they are also more expensive than all other level 5 units! But the Archpriests and Inquisitors are also great at level 5! They fight well! :)

Inquisitors, in my opinion, don't offer anything particularly special at level 5. In terms of ranged attacks, they clearly lose out to Liches and Priests; they deal less damage, and their attack bonus of 1 won't be effective. Their only advantage is the absence of a penalty in melee combat, and they have a decent amount more HP.

I think Liches, Inquisitors, and Unicorns are good!

you are comparing them individually, but it would be more accurate to consider their usefulness to the army they belong to.
Here, I think unicorns also stand out, and maybe I'm just being dense, but it seems to me that hydras are also important; they are the only unique units for the Dungeon faction (along with minotaurs), and they are very helpful in battle, even though they are much weaker compared to other units of the same level.
