Posts from Which units would you replace in the Sylvan castle?

You don't necessarily have to remove magic, but in that case, the Elves would have as many as 3 casters, and any Academy would be envious. And the spells would be chosen wisely. For example, against Dungeon, the Fairy would always choose the Fist spell, and the Dragon would never use Chain Lightning if the enemy has only one stack of units, and wouldn't waste Ice Ring on a small unit. Then the Elves wouldn't be a weak race, that's for sure.

Definitely not 3 wizards, because Dryads can only cast a spell twice, and their damage isn't the best, so you could replace them with a Magic Dragon without changing anything.

Actually, I'm also for the mythical dragon, because the emerald ones just don't cut it... they've always been there, but now they're gone... it's strange.

They have a high initiative.

Yeah...
I think it would be good to replace the green and gold dragons with fairytale and magical dragons, respectively! :p

It would also be nice to find some other animals to replace the dancing ones! :D

I disagree. The dancing animations fit perfectly with the Castle.

For example, add centaurs there!

I think the castle looks great, very nice, and all the units fit well! :)

The only downside is that they look a bit underwhelming...:( But when you look at their stats...:D;)

Ideally, their dragons should be burning everything.

The elven city is very beautiful. The units seem appropriate, except I would replace the dragon with something else (like a Forest Spirit or some other quirky creature) - they're all in the forest, and the dragon is out of place:D. And the druids are strange; the ones depicted should have been called shamans. We saw a real druid in the first and second games; well, almost real, because ideally, he should have a white robe, a long beard, and a scythe (by the way, it would be cool if he fought in melee with a scythe - grabbing the enemy by the hair and slashing their throat with the scythe:D). The upgraded archer somehow looks worse than the un-upgraded one:(. The dancers are all very anime-like, but that's not so bad for elves; the problem is that they die like flies. The unicorn is cool, and its stats are good; its ability to reflect magic is especially awesome. The fairies are strange - the un-upgraded ones are okay, but the upgraded ones are either some kind of symbiosis between a human and a plant, or just a zombie-fairy:D. The Ent is power. Beautiful power. And, what's really great, it's a fast-moving power - and that's at least reasonable: large creatures should run farther than small ones - if only because of the size of their legs. But the Ent is also just cheating, because it has the best stats for a level 6 unit; and if you also consider that rangers mainly upgrade defense, then an entrenched, upgraded Ent is virtually invulnerable. And separately - A HUGE THANK YOU to the developers for almost removing female warriors from the elves. I'm not a misogynist; I just like common sense. WOMEN DIDN'T FIGHT IN THE MIDDLE AGES (except for Joan of Arc, some Japanese female samurai from the Tale of the Heike, one Indian Rani who fought against the English, the wife of a chieftain of some British tribe who fought against the Romans, and one Viking woman who drove away Native Americans in North America; I haven't heard of any other female warriors), and they didn't fight in Tolkien's works (although they cast spells - consider Maia Melian, who kept her kingdom with Thingol under magical protection, or her daughter Lúthien, who, together with Beren, defeated Morgoth (although not banished him:D)). This is a good start, and this trend - the gradual removal of female warriors from games - should be supported. The same thing is happening in Gothic, and I really like it

I agree. Women are not made for bloodshed. They are inherently above it.

P.S. The paradox is that wars often start because of women. Remember Helen of Troy.

That's right. According to myths, many wars started because of them. And in reality, many conflicts arise precisely because of women, and many people have died because of them in duels (now I'm talking about duels in a broad sense, including various confrontations like shootouts or Viking-style duels). By the way, it's interesting that Celtic mythology constantly features female warriors, even though archaeological and historical sources assure us that women did not fight among them (yes, and it would be strange).

It's not even about the fact that women didn't fight in the Middle Ages; it's just that... a woman is like a beautiful flower, holding a bloodstained blade in her hand... It just doesn't feel right! :(

P.S. An interesting fact: according to myths (I don't remember exactly which ones), the first magic was discovered by women! Or rather, by a woman.

Interesting. Regarding magic, I can definitely say something about Scandinavian mythology: there was a system where runic magic was introduced by Odin (he sacrificed himself to himself, and while hanging, pierced by a spear, for nine days, he learned many things, including runes); that is, a man. However, he learned seidr, shamanic magic, from the goddess Freya. For the Vikings, everything is ambiguous.
In general, magic is probably very different among different peoples.

That's right, among the northern peoples, female warriors are Valkyries, and they welcome male warriors at the entrance to Valhalla. They didn't have any other ordinary female warriors.
