Barbarians with trolls.

Yes, trolls have high damage output. But the Necropolis faction never had many archers. And liches are among the strongest units in the game. The fact that they attack in an area is a plus against archers, who are always protected. And you can always protect your liches with skeletons and mummies. So vampires + dragons + liches = power.

against the undead with liches, I never block archers; I take out the winged creatures....

with magic.

This means that liches can fire freely. And deal so much damage that only titans can deal more.

What is your opinion on the level 2 archers in the Knight and Barbarian Castles? Separately for upgraded and non-upgraded ones...

in my opinion, archers are better.

I don't like Rangers because they annoy me... less than Elves, but still unpleasant!

I like the upgraded Orcs of the Barbarians because of their survivability...
but the archers of the Knights... they are not bad, but they have very little health... even the upgraded ones...

They are easily defeated...!! But it takes quite a while to defeat the Orcs!

and both Archers and Rangers have 10 hit points.

And that's bad; it's practically like there's no upgrade, they die almost the same way!

What are your opinions on the un-upgraded archers of the fifth level?
To reiterate, these are Liches, Trolls, and Mages.

Yes, they are all strong, but I like the Liches and Trolls... by the way, we've done some work on the Heroes 3 section regarding off-topic discussions (sorry for the off-topic!)...

I'm a bit puzzled by the 25 hit points of the liches. Yes, they have excellent defense – 12, they deal decent damage (8-10), their attack is 7 (which isn't that bad), and their speed is above average (5), but still, 25 hit points combined with a cost of 750 seems a bit…
Just one lightning bolt with a magic power of 6 takes down six liches, which amounts to 4,500 gold!!!
And what do you think about the mages and trolls (just to reiterate, I'm talking about the unupgraded archers of the fifth level)?

Both Mages and Trolls are quite strong even without upgrades. Mages work well in combination with other ranged units in the tower. Trolls are quite self-sufficient.
