Posts from Invisibility for the Town Hall.

Well, to be honest, yes... I take assassins because at the beginning, I don't notice that I have 500 mana, and there's really no need to hide; it's better to just shoot them down. A little later, yes, but at the beginning...

The question remains: why don't other races even dream of these things? Why are they forced to act in the old way?
Night Stalkers. They hit hard, a little harder than witches shoot.

Invisibility lasts exactly one turn, no matter how you move the Night Stalkers, so you need to have a very bad memory not to know where they are.
And have you seen how they (Night Stalkers) walk? To reach the end of the field, you need to admire this graceful but slow gait.

And how, for example, can you use the witches' sabbath with Erin? Will the Night Stalkers throw their whip?... And the spells cast by the whip? You hit a bunch of cyclops, cast berserk, who will be the nearest random target? Mass spells perfectly break invisibility.

How, for example, can you use the Witch Coven ability with Erin?

After all, witches usually attack from the second half of the battlefield, which means their damage will be halved, while the Night Lords always deal full damage.

If the choice of upgrade depends on how the unit moves... I don't even know what to say... I know that invisibility takes up a turn, but if the enemy can't reach them, won't they be able to dispel the invisibility?

Erin is not the only hero of the Shadow League. I never rely on her ability. The ability of the witches themselves is sometimes annoying, but the Night Lords also have this drawback. Besides, the chance of a Berserker appearing is 33 percent. And who will cast mass spells?... Either another Shadow League hero or a mage. Or a gnome. And that's it. Not to mention that Dark spells cannot be cast.

Is it really a problem that the Night Lords only cover half the battlefield?

What's stopping the opponent? They can focus on destroying the other units while the Night Lords are invisible, and by the time they're done, the invisibility will have worn off.

"Quote from Vortex" - "As far as I know, all witches can cast spells, even those who shouldn't be able to." - Thanks, I'll check that out today.

Drawback. The Mistresses don't need to engage enemy troops in melee combat, so this drawback rarely manifests itself.
Darkness. What about mass plague? Disintegration Ray?

Well, the Knight will probably wipe out all the troops first, cast Antimagic, and wait for the Night Lords to appear.
The Demon will summon troops everywhere and hunt down the Night Lords like the Holy Inquisition.
The Barbarian... will find a way, for example, by using Free Cyclops, which deal damage to multiple targets.
The others will find a way, or they'll use Chaos magic. They don't really suffer from the lack of mass spells.

Isn't it a problem that they can go there multiple times?

Invisibility is also needed to deliver an unreturned strike, not just to sit there.

I've already checked and written about it.

No, no mass dark spells affect invisible units. Only chaos, but there aren't that many of them, and not that many races worth fearing.

There's no need to exaggerate their ability and turn it into something incredibly overpowered. They probably won't even pay much attention to their owners, so setting a single goal to detect them at all costs is pointless. They will try if possible, but not necessarily.

Why aren't they working? Have you checked that as well?

In the final stages, it's just a nice feature, good for a single, decisive strike, but nothing more.

What prevents you from still deploying only Stalkers? Or, in general, stop scrimping and fighting with a normal, large army?

Witches only shoot at half the battlefield, which means they need two shots for full damage. Well, for full damage in one hit, our Mistresses also need at least two turns, the only difference being that anything can happen to them along the way, up to an encounter with a Devil.

And now imagine - they go invisible, and the attacks start hitting the Riders.

If I have a choice - to lose a couple of Hunters when breaking through, or to lose an extra five minutes painstakingly arranging, moving, and calculating all possible Witch movement paths, I will choose the first option.

and no one stops you from quietly casting spells while invisible

Why do my sorceresses stop being invisible as soon as they start casting spells?

"But what about invulnerability to darkness and targeted spells?" - Does it mean you absolutely have to cast them? Besides, this invulnerability lasts only 3 turns.

Well, that's just your case, not an axiom. Maybe someone else, with different troops and stat distribution, would have saved a turn by gathering all the troops.

It always seemed to me that at the beginning, everyone tries to eliminate as many archers as possible, but since there are no archers in this situation... the riders will be caught in the fray anyway. And if the magic is good, why should they run to the other side of the field? Just stand there and enjoy watching the nightmares, along with the succubi and devils, decay under the meteor shower.

"But the biggest imbalance is the Battle to the Death" - Battle to the Death... please explain.

"Invisibility is an imbalance, especially if there are more than 450 Stalkers and more than 45 Matriarchs" - What's going on with the enemy then?
