Well done! That's how we'll do it from now on!

Zingel, I suggest you create a similar top list; it would be interesting to see what you come up with. But I think people will still find something to criticize; it's human nature to be biased... even if it seems objective... (I'm not referring to anyone in particular, but for example, fans of the Barbarians will insist on their merits even if they are in a bad position; I was surprised myself that they ended up in one of the last places in my list).

But I think people will still find fault, as people are inherently biased... even if it's objective... (I'm not referring to anyone in particular, just for example, fans of the Barbarians will insist on their opinion if they are in a bad position; I myself was surprised that they took one of the last places in my list).

The problem is that it would take a lot of time, and I absolutely don't have any :(.
Once (when we were having nighttime duels, around 2002), I tried to analyze the situation, calculated something, etc. (We were playing for a good amount of money!) And it turned out that all Castles have their own advantages. For example, in the first and second games, I always played as the Sorceress (I just loved the Druids). Although the strongest Castle is the Warlock's Keep (but you need to hire a Barbarian, not wander around with a Sorcerer; in general, in the first and second games, the Barbarian was the best with any race). In the third game, as I think, the Dungeon is a very convenient Castle, especially for defense. Although the Stronghold is all about tanks; they can easily overwhelm you because they have the fastest development of their main attacking force. The Elementals are like the Chinese; they rely on numbers and Mass Bless. Humans are simply a very strong faction.

So, it turns out that you can't definitively say WHO IS THE BEST. It all depends on who you are playing against, what map you are on, and what style you choose.

And what I wrote above is based on my personal observations when playing against the computer; i.e., the order of the most disgusting, unpleasant, and inconvenient units that caused me the most problems. That's it. :)

So, everyone has their own table, and after a series of battles, the order of the creatures will most likely change. :)

And for beginners, I can advise them to simply look at how much HP the creatures have and how much damage they can inflict.

Okay, Joker, let's virtually simulate this battle – 1000 halberdiers against 1000 fairies. The fairies wait, then attack relentlessly, then retreat, and so on.
But how did the upgraded gnolls fare against them? Did they just keep attacking without taking any damage?
And how did the halberdiers defeat the skeleton warriors?

And what about the question regarding phoenixes?

Minotaurs are still good at level five! They have increased morale and amazing damage, 50 hit points, and 15/15 stats, plus a speed of 8.

Minotaurs are still good from level five! They have increased morale and amazing damage, 50 hit points, and 15/15 stats + a speed of 8.

I agree, minotaurs are beasts too! :)
In the second part, as soon as they run up, they just... hit hard, and they can even get a "Bless" spell! :)

Let's recall the storm elementals from level 2!

In general, you can roughly divide the creatures into Excellent, Average, and Terrible. :)
I think there will be fewer disagreements here, although people will still argue a lot.

I completely agree! I myself have evaluated all the units and can say that this division is justified! There are weak units at all levels!

Okay, Joker, let's virtually simulate this battle – 1000 halberdiers against 1000 sprites. The sprites wait, then attack relentlessly, then retreat, and so on.
But how did the upgraded gnolls lose? Did they just keep attacking without any losses?
And how did the halberdiers defeat the skeleton warriors?
And what about the question regarding phoenixes?

What's the point of doing it virtually? I'll go simulate it now and tell you what happens. The computers will play, I won't participate; I think that would be fairer...;)
Regarding the phoenixes, I'll go look into it now (and I'll call a friend to ask him about the principle he used to do it – we did it together, I just don't remember why it turned out that way)... In short, I'll explain everything soon...

The problem is that it will take a lot of time, and there is absolutely none.

Exactly, a familiar problem. We spent the whole day working on this top list, but no one liked it. I won't do this again, since no one likes it...:(

Let's remember the storm elementals from level 2!

I agree again :). But if we list all the "Good" units, the table will only have 2 rows - "Good" and "Bad"

It's also worth noting right away: Pegasi, Dendroids, Champions, Ogres, Liches, Psycho-Elementals, Wyverns :)

It's not just bad, it's worse than the others, in my opinion!

But no one liked it, so I won't do this anymore, since no one likes it...:(

Why is it normal? We just need to defend the honor of the Barbarians! I think you didn't compare the Warriors based on all aspects.

Among the less desirable units, we immediately note: 1. unupgraded sprites, imps, and gremlins 2. lizards, zombies

2 Joker No, that's not fairer! Why should computers play? Do you conduct all battles in this way? It should be player versus player; that would be truly fairer. You'll overwhelm any level 1 unit with upgraded fairies, as well as golems and more! I would move these fairies to third place, after centaurs and halberdiers. And I would logically move skeletons down.

I suggest this option!
Table:
Heroes | Coolest unit | Worst unit
1 | Troll | Peasant
2 | Crusaders | Again, Peasant
3 | Death Knight | Gnoll
4 | Cyclops | Leprechaun
5 | Spirit | Ballerina

Hey, buddy, what happened to all the spaces? Why did you ruin such a good table?
