the cave lord – with his help, you can defeat anything in the game. He has a beautiful design (although some may not like it), and his fireball attack is awesome! On the other hand, Ents can be very useful in situations where you have powerful magic but lack troops. While the enemy is trying to eliminate the Treants and Ents, you can calmly destroy him with various helpful spells like Earth Shock, Chain Lightning, or Meteor Shower...

Cave Lord - with his help you can wipe out everything and everyone in the game. He's beautifully drawn (although some might not like it), and his fireball shot is class! On the other hand, Ents are very useful at times in the sense that if you have powerful magic but no army. While the enemy tries to take down the wood-cutters - the ents, we calmly destroy them with various "kind" things like Earth Shock or Chain Lightning or Meteor Shower...

Yes, the Lord's magic is super, but there's only enough mana for 2 shots, which isn't bad given their initiative; it seems you won't even get to move more than that. But still, in terms of appearance and uniqueness, I prefer the little witches; I'm with them, as are many others on this forum—beauty is power.

Yes, the Warlock's magic is great, but he only has enough mana for 2 shots, which isn't bad considering their initiative.

But they also have the ability "Shielding Sword," with which they can kill any monster with any amount of HP, so they can be used to eliminate summoned Phoenixes with a huge amount of HP.

I knew someone would write about this. I was just too lazy to explain it in detail, but okay, who is afraid of just one warrior, even a phoenix (which will resurrect and defeat several lords)? Shattering Blade is not very useful at this level. If you are going to play and have an entire stack occupied by just one pit lord, in order to kill a super-mega-puncher-killer..., then IMHO, that's inefficient.

For these purposes, Messengers are still better - they are faster and more proactive, plus they can always be revived during battle.
And against a larger group, a Messenger is more effective; he removes all positive effects from the enemy, and you're happy.

Well, okay, who is scared of just one warrior, even if it's a Phoenix (which will resurrect and defeat several lords)?

The summoned Phoenix will not resurrect, and its hit points are equal to:
300 + 30*spell power, so it matters. And you don't have to wait long for the Phoenix; it has an initiative of 15, so it will fly over quickly.

Death is king. With its ability, it can take down everyone.

The summoned phoenix will not resurrect, and its hit points are equal to 300 + 30 * magic skill, so it does matter. And you don't have to wait long for the phoenix; it has an initiative of 15, so it will fly there quickly.

Well, in that case, it's okay, but it's still a useful feature. It might not always be needed, and as they say, it's also possessed by Death Knights. Regarding power, I'm not arguing that lords are better than the others.

I think Paladins stand out from this (I won't say bland) group because they enjoy duels and are friends with archangels.

I think Paladins stand out from this (I won't say gray) mass because they love duels and are friends with archangels.

But are archangels such authorities that "knights with a stick" stand out because of their friendship with them? If it weren't for training and their advantage, I think Paladins would be just another unremarkable faction, not gray, but just part of the mass. Sorry, I have nothing personal against Paladins, I just don't like it when someone is singled out at the expense of, not exactly humiliation, but an unrespectful and unarguable attitude towards opponents.

I agree, but they are better if you send them to the enemy using teleportation, thanks to their HP - 181, like a level 7 unit.
Witches are good when they support the hero Erin in an attack, and they also have a nice appearance.

But why are archangels such authorities that "knights with a stick" get special treatment just for being friends with them?

I think so because archangels are probably used in most cases to resurrect paladins. Also, I have 2 stacks of Inquisitors casting spells on paladins and archangels in this combination, and on archers, of which I have many (if money allows, of course, preparation is superb).

But these are better if you send them to the enemy using teleport.

I think that while they are being teleported (and they have low initiative), the paladins will do their job, although their roots can greatly hinder them.

I believe this because archangels are perhaps used in most cases to resurrect specifically paladins; also, in this combination I have 2 stacks of inquisitors casting spells on the paladins and archangels, as well as on the crossbowmen, of which I have many (if money allows, of course, the preparation is super). I think that by the time they teleport them (plus they have low initiative), the paladins will do their job, although with their roots they can be a own significant hindrance

And where did you put the griffins, let them fly in the sky? Yes, people with money have no problems choosing tactics: train and go into battle, paladins and КО will do their job. That's why Necromancer were made for such cases—while you are busy scraping together cash, we assemble an army absolutely free of charge.
