Posts from Discussion of third-tier monsters.

As I already wrote, Cyclops are the best. When there are many of them, it's a disaster, and with Barbarian growth in the city, this is quite possible. Almost everyone falls after the first volley (I'm improving my tactics).In principle, all units are good, but they are far behind the Cyclops:cool:

But the other vampires are definitely far behind.

And if in order...
- Griffins are weak, but they attack everyone in response, so if you have a lot of them, it will be very painful for the enemies :)

- Unicorns - blinding is the key, and it works again and again :)

- Crusaders - strong infantry with protection against Death.

- Monks - powerful archers with protection against Death.

- Djinns - excellent spellcasters, but their stats are weak :(

- Nagas - a powerful melee unit with retaliation.

- Vampires - an excellent unit, with retaliation, they regenerate, and you can also raise them with necromancy :)

- Poisonous creatures - a good archer with poisoning.

- Ifrits - not bad units with an excellent fire shield :)

- Nightmares - cute horses that can also terrorize :)

- Ogre mages - cheap and very effective :)

- Cyclops - an excellent archer, but can hit their own :(

- Monks are powerful archers with protection against Death.

A bit of my commentary

And they also fly and quite far.

However, throwing them into the forefront against machines or undead is pointless. (minus the blinding effect).

They move little and sluggishly.

That's true, there's nothing to add or subtract.

If you attack from a distance, the lack of health and armor is less noticeable. Plus, they can fly...

They move little. Easily destroyed by sorcerers and archers of level 3. Not an ideal option.

As I already wrote, this is the strongest enemy of the 3rd class in the game (according to the scriptwriters' idea).

That's all. Nothing more to add.

Again, they can fly. Immune to fire. That's a plus.

Scare, not terrorize. It's not that simple with them: you can't scare everyone. They are stronger than Ifrits in their element, but at the same time, they usually suffer heavy losses in battle.

The worst enemy, perhaps. Apart from Bloodlust, it doesn't have anything useful. It doesn't move far. It's easily destroyed.

And you don't use them in your own army. The advantage of a cyclops is defeating an army consisting of weak units, or magically immune monsters.

And you haven't described the Flowers and the Sorceress.

They are not powerful at all. Just ordinary meat. Without accuracy, they are nothing. IMHO.

But in close combat, they are tougher than Djinns. IMHO, Nagas are a better choice against Chaos with Dark Dragons.

But when they arrive, it might not be enough :)

But in close combat, they are stronger than Djinns. IMHO, against Chaos with Death Knights, Nagas will be better :)

And they only scare once :( But I have this spell - "Terror". They are really strong horses :) But I think I had the same losses with horses and Ifrits.

But I wouldn't say - they are not much weaker than Cyclops, although the stats were slightly adjusted, and their growth is impressive. So, in my opinion, it's a good alternative :).

Actually, I'm a girl ;) I'll forgive you this time :).

- Hive - a very good ranged unit, but slow...
- Sorceress - why did she jump to level 3? This lady is level 4... a Terminator, a cheater :)
- Knight-Goblin - very, very powerful and dangerous infantry :)

Battles against the Chaos Domain are rare. And they don't move around much.

If they make it, they'll be battered.

Battles with Chaos Druids are rare. And they don't move very fast...

Terror – it seems to mean "horror" or "intimidation"...

No. We take 50 one-eyed creatures against 50 green ones and see who wins...

Gender is not specified anywhere...

-Hive (flower) - only good for ranged attacks (I keep them in castles), they grow well, shoot accurately and a lot, but they don't move... practically not at all.
-Witch: I thought she was level 3, let's see... and indeed, level 4.
-Goblin Knight: awesome: moves far, cuts well. Equipped against magic - great.

Even battered ones will give you a hard time :) (I'm passing the initiative to Optimal ;) )

As Pandora said, it's not that rare. And regarding crawling – if the mountain, i.e., the Naga, doesn't go to Muhammad, i.e., the Castle, then Muhammad quickly flies to the mountain :)

Yeah. 50/50, but considering that the Ogre growth rate is twice as high as that of Cyclops... :rolleyes: They'll overwhelm with numbers :smile42:

And here it is! There's such a line in the profile :smile42: ;)

Goblins are not much inferior to vampires, and may even be stronger...

P.S. Pandora has already retrained as an Orc ;)

I don't think so. If I'm a mage of moderate power, I'll cast various spells on them, drain their strength, and so on, and the archers will take them out. I never recruit Crusaders myself.

If I go for Chaos, I'll chop them up with Gargantuars, Hydras, or Cyclops.

That's what I'm talking about. Ogres will be pelted with stones, and then the Cyclops will approach. It's always best to test things in practice.

I haven't seen it.

I don't think so – they don't fly, they don't heal by draining others, plus poison, etc. The only bonus is that you can't affect them with Holy Word.
But with this spell, I used to take out entire undead Fortresses while they were hiding behind the fence.

Oh, she has a hard time with all the Factions, and she changes avatars.

Double Strike isn't that bad, and the enemy army will definitely have more than just Crusaders. Archers can't hold out forever – unless they're Medusas, of course. The Knight faction is tough; they'll eventually prevail...
That's why I like Archers – they can easily deal damage from a distance. Honestly, it's hard to defend Crusaders because my preference is for Monks.

What if you go with Order in Castle? (just in case?) And you won't always find a Gargantua on the map.

Hmm... will 50 Cyclops defeat 100 Ogres? (I think it's better to compare unit-to-unit – it's more objective, in my opinion, and closer to the real situation). But if it's 50 vs. 50, then yes, the one-eyed ones definitely win. By the way, I'll be at my grandmother's now (no internet :smile05:), so I'll test it out.

Yes, yes :) Okay, we've agreed that I'm a girl.

Hmm, sorry :o But Goblins have magic resistance and stone skin – you have to admit, that's not bad. And they have more health. :)
Yes, Holy Word is a powerful thing. And against living units, Jad or Plague will help (by the way, I'm currently playing through a campaign with Alita – Plague was very helpful).
