Posts from Discussion about Sylvan (Wood Elves).

This race is considered dominant only at the beginning levels, after which it becomes balanced. However, the truly dominant races are the Dark Elves and Mages; they are simply overpowered, especially TM (I won't say why).

The 5th game is interesting because it has many interesting loopholes and secrets that help the player. Exz said it right, so you can consider that this is why the Elves are the dominant race at the start. As for the Dungeon, I will remain silent, as the tactic is secret, and I was asked not to disclose it publicly :). Besides, in the current version, whoever you take, everyone plays as Dungeon or Academy.

Not quite... More like a Knight or Barbarian (archers are very strong, especially at level 2, and level 3 is also good, while Warlocks have unimpressive units, in my opinion, like Minotaurs), and Warlocks aren't very good (unless they sacrifice city development and build a strong guild right away).

Are peasants very effective for humans, and goblins for orcs?
No, the strongest at the start (in my opinion) are Dungeon (assassins harass from a distance + furies – they are like archers, but only within a radius of 8 cells, and without a penalty + their intelligence is twice as high as that of Haven archers), and minotaurs are for soaking up damage to protect the assassins and furies, and Sylvan (a great level 3 unit) that defeats level 1 units without a fight, with a cool ability at level 2. But I still don't like playing as Sylvan because of the constant shortage of wood.

Whirlwind, in the first week, it is very difficult to build and upgrade archers and ents; where do you get so much wood? You also need to build fortifications, which is also a significant expense. Here, you need to capture a sawmill on days 1-2 and rely on luck, as sometimes there may be very little wood on the map. At the start, I consider the Elves to be one of the best. They have a very strong ranged unit at level 3, very proactive and fast units at levels 1 and 2, and the level 1 unit also attacks without retaliation + wasp swarm.

Elves are not considered dominant in the early stages! Necropolis is strong in the early stages, and Tower is also strong! With Dark Energy, a level 8 Necropolis hero already has 70 vampires! How to defeat them is unclear!
