Arengar, I'm not talking about the level, but about the overall picture.

Haha! I agree, I sometimes fear them even more than other level 2-3 units (as neutral creatures).

Assassins disappoint me. They have a huge penalty for ranged attacks. They deal much more damage in melee than when shooting with a unicorn bow. But hunters – now that’s something.

Assassins excel not in shooting, but in poisoning!

Assassins are undoubtedly strong and the most resilient creatures of the 1st level. Imps and Dryads are also quite interesting.

Which is better? 350 archers or 1000 skeletons? That is the question!

Let's go through them one by one:
* A large number of skeletons can be countered with the Cavern Ogre's Killing Blow, but there aren't as many skeletons in the newer versions anymore.
* Healing Nymphs can be countered by quickly killing Ents or Nymphs; the Wasp Swarm is weak, but removing the enchantment doesn't always work.
* Draining mana from Imps can be countered by any strong, high-initiative unit (it's better for a Warlock to lose one unit than all of their mana, because they won't be able to restore it in battle).
* Repairing Gremlins is pointless because it only happens once.
* Stalker's invisibility is not protected against area-of-effect attacks (Meteor Shower, Fireball, etc.), and the poison loses its effectiveness towards the end of the battle.
* Gnomes, with their high defense, are very weak in attack, so they don't make much of a difference.
* However, the specializations of Goblins and Peasants (which can be left unupgraded and kept in the castle with Ellaine) cannot be countered. You can't call them the best, but I think they are much more useful... the rest don't matter.

Hunter! Only because it "activates" invisibility for 3 turns! This really saves them from unnecessary losses! And the small increase in stats is compensated by their strength.

But as a fan of the High Elves, I can't help but defend the Nymphs.
The trees will live until the very end and die last, as they have the lowest initiative among the troops of the Forest faction. As for health and hit points, no comment.
It's also not easy to quickly kill Nymphs, especially when Dragons that moved first are flying around, Dancing Unicorns burst into your ranks, blinding everyone, and I won't even mention Druids and Archers.
Under these circumstances, would anyone want to harm the little, kind Nymphs?!

6. Goblins
Although, of course, I think that Defenders are the best. They are VERY difficult to kill; yes, they don't deal much damage, but they handle archers well. First, the wall of shields from the Warriors won't let the archers do much damage, and the Guardians are generally stationary. We place an energy rune... and... in two turns, the archers are severely weakened. Another point is the armor; the unit's defense is not reduced in any way, and this is simply a nightmare, considering everything mentioned, enhanced arrows, devastating ray, and Fire Lord won't work. As a result, if a hero who is a runologist is playing, it's hard to find a better unit than Defenders at level 1. :) Impenetrability is better than invisibility... 18 Guardians will defeat 7 Archers, and even more so Assassins, because the longer you wait, the higher the defense will be:), and these invisible units will immediately attack... and die.

In my opinion, they are equal...:rolleyes:

They are not equal; it all depends on the skills. Warrior skeletons with upgraded defense are terrifying. Chaos is practically useless against 1,000 skeletons. But it's definitely foolish to use elite units against Necropolis; only archers are effective!

I voted for the Imps. They aren't overpowered, but their mana-stealing ability is quite annoying. And they're pretty fun to play with.
