Posts from Which level 1 creature is better?

The speed is higher... Centaur goes first... The result - he will win....

What kind of nonsense is this???? Press the spacebar with the Halberdier, and the Centaur will lose on his own!

What are you talking about? Hey guys, this is nonsense... 1 on 1, the Centaur will lose.

I agree! And without a chance!

Hmm... considering that the Centaur can wait and then attack twice in a row... Once, it attacks, and on the next turn, it finishes the job, and that's it. And who will retreat in that case?

Hmm... considering that a centaur can wait and then attack for 2 turns in a row... once, the response is to finish the job on the next turn, and that's it. And where will anyone lose?

Two turns in a row is not critical in this situation, because after the centaur's attack, there is a response, and the halberdier will also receive protection! Don't argue, just check it out! Why argue if you don't know?

Centaurs are the coolest!))) They run fast, which is very important in battle!))) And that's why I'm voting for them!))) And I play as them!)))

Indeed, go ahead and check.
Centaur moves, halberdier defends. Centaur attacks, halberdier defends. Centaur attacks, halberdier defends. Centaur waits, halberdier defends. Centaur attacks 2 times. Total of 4 attacks, total average damage - 10, halberdier dies, managing to deal 7.5 average damage, 3 attacks, because he doesn't survive until the last counterattack. This outcome in terms of the number of attacks (without morale) can always be achieved, therefore the centaur will win in more than half of the cases. By the way, the halberd's 3 (taking into account the Defense order, so 2) defense advantage doesn't play a role in this battle, because Heroes 3 doesn't work with fractional numbers, discarding the fractional part.

I agree that defense should have an impact, and it should be at least +4! No question about that. Now, let's do some math!
For the Centaur to win, it needs to deal 10 damage in 4 attacks. Since its damage is 2-3, there will be 2^4 combinations, which is 16. Let's list them:

01) 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8
02) 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 = 9
03) 2 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 9
04) 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 = 10
05) 2 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 9
06) 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 = 10
07) 2 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 10
08) 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 11
09) 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 9
10) 3 + 2 + 2 + 3 = 10
11) 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 10
12) 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 = 11
13) 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 10
14) 3 + 3 + 2 + 3 = 11
15) 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 11
16) 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12

As you can see from the calculations, the Centaur doesn't deal 10 damage, and therefore it only wins in scenarios 1, 2, 3, 5, and 9. This means that the Centaur's chance of winning this battle is 5/16, or 31.25%, while the Halberdier's chance of winning is 11/16, or 68.75%.

Now, I'll try to explain myself! I tested it like this: a Knight (2-2-1-1) with a Halberdier against a Ranger (1-3-1-1) with a Centaur Captain. In my example, after the Halberdier presses the spacebar, the defense kicks in, and he easily defeats the Centaur!!!!! In reality, you need to test the strength of a monster with equal parameters, and I'm not sure why I didn't do that! :confused:

From everything said above, the following conclusions can be drawn:I was wrong!!!! Therefore, I would like to admit my mistake and apologize for the harsh words and for misleading many people! Huge thanks to Fireball for setting me straight!!!

I would also like to apologize to "The One." It was unacceptable to be rude to a woman, even if I was sure I was right! Please accept my apologies; I'm just a very hot-tempered person! By the way, congratulations on March 8th ;)

I thought about it for a long time, but in the end, I decided and admitted to myself that centaurs are better, although I couldn't agree with that for a while, because halberdiers are quite effective.

Fairies and Centaur Captains!))) IMHO, they are the best.

As usual, I'll describe each unit; if something isn't quite right, please don't be too harsh, as it's just my opinion. - Halberdier - a fairly powerful and sturdy unit, but not very fast. In the hands of a knight, it can become a dangerous enemy. - Gremlin - its main advantage is that it's a ranged unit. But its health leaves much to be desired, so it's easily defeated. Although its growth rate is quite decent, so it compensates with numbers. - Imp - fast, steals mana, but as weak as a gremlin... Therefore, it doesn't bother a mage hero for very long, unless there are 10,000 of them. - Centaur - my favorite, and not just because it's from Bastion. Its downside is its weak defense and large size. But it's a fast unit with very good damage and decent health. Although it's quite expensive. - Troglodyte - a rather average unit, but it can still cause some trouble... and you can't blind it. - Gnoll - also an average unit compared to centaurs, but it has decent defense. And it's slow. But it's so cute... - Goblin - an average unit, with good growth and speed. In my opinion, it doesn't have any special features. - Skeleton - good attack and defense stats, not very fast, but their number with a necromancer hero on XL maps is very impressive... So it's better to defeat them while there are few of them. - Fairy - weak, cheap, but there are many of them, they fly fast and attack without being attacked, pesky things. I remember once, just for fun, I gathered about 1000 of them, which was easy even with just one Conflux castle, and then they defeated many enemies. My favorites are, of course, centaurs, but in skilled hands (not mine), any troglodyte can cause trouble for anyone

Perhaps a Halberdier or Centaur is stronger, but a Gremlin is much more useful. Firstly, you can get a large number of them at the beginning of the game. Secondly, it shoots, which allows you to defeat neutrals much more successfully. It's an archer. In battles at the early stages of the game, there are fewer losses with this unit, which means there will be more of them by the middle of the game. By the end of the game, Centaurs and skeletons fight successfully among the 1st-level creatures. Well, maybe also Halberdiers, although they have low speed. But Gremlins are useful. They destroy towers during a siege and start attacking. It shoots - that's its advantage.

Warning - one more swear word from this user - I will issue a warning. Ta Kotoraya...

Regarding the usefulness of M. Gremlins for clearing out neutral creatures, I agree.
But in general, you should stop using vulgar language, or you might get a warning.

Maybe not the best, but I like the Gnoll Marauders! They hit pretty hard!

Gnolls combined with Tazar can do a lot in the early game! Defense is key!!! You can easily take over Crypts!!

Centaur is the best:smile49:. Good speed and health:smile13:.

And what about the master gremlin? By the time the centaur gets close, the gremlin will have already managed to hit it at least once with a direct arrow (if the centaurs go first). If the gremlins go first, then one direct arrow and at least one indirect arrow. So, I support the gremlins as candidates, although I agree that centaurs are also not weak:smile17:
