How are unicorns stronger than magic elementals? Champions are definitely better in attack – they have higher speed and deal more bonus damage.
So, unicorns don't excel over anyone (except for the Scorpius) =(

Unicorns are stronger than magic elementals (if the latter are not in the hands of a specialist) because their damage against necromantic troops, as well as the aforementioned underground dragons, is noticeably higher. And they also have an ability that is effective against other units. Plus, they have more hit points.
In addition, Rampart has a whole range of extremely useful units. First of all, these are gnomes. Gnomes are valuable for the following reasons: they are one of the best units for producing demons; they can be skipped during construction to speed up the process, but if they are needed for something (like producing demons), they can be bred in sufficient quantities; they are excellent in terms of cost-effectiveness, both in conservatories and in utopias (where, by the way, magic elementals are not very effective without a specialist).
Considering the possibility of additional growth, their cost, and, of course, their ability, dendroids are a truly unique unit. They are excellent against fast-moving neutral units (this can be useful when capturing a utopia, breaking through the Main Guard, etc.), and they can also help stop an enemy's attacking force. How do you stop a horde of skeletons? Gorgons are not effective against them... But dendroids can provide significant help here...

In principle, everything has already been said, but, in short, I agree with the previous speakers: *there are no "bad" units in the Rampart!* All of them are good in their own way, and there is a suitable role for each of them. And it all depends on the player: how effectively he will use these creatures and their abilities.

I completely agree with Marmot, and because of this, Rampart, on the contrary, is the most versatile city.

Sinistar

I don't like that it's entirely focused on one unit: high elves.

They are indispensable for rapid development, but they can only decide the outcome of a battle in the early stages.

Heh, well, maybe the unicorns will defeat the Skorikor - if there is no paralysis.

I think that unicorns are second only to Nagas and Death Knights, followed by them and Champions. And they also cost 950 gold, while the same Wyvern and Cyclops cost 1100! Pegasi are MUCH better than Vampires, because the latter cannot be upgraded:p

I would say that Pegasi are primarily strong due to their numbers – their growth rate exceeds that of level 4 units in most castles, and also because, with a sufficient number of Gnomes, they are not only easy to build but also to upgrade (and a fast unit is extremely useful).

I would say that the problem with pegasuses is their low survivability, as they are usually the first to fall in battles. However, they have a huge speed and decent damage for a level 4 unit, so if you use them wisely and save them for major battles, they can become a decisive force.

The worst units in the Fortress are the Golden Dragons. It's a paradox, gentlemen, but it's true. They are very difficult to build and upgrade. And in battle, they are not very useful. You can't cast Artimagic on them, you can't resurrect them, and their explosion can be countered. If you have a vulnerability medal, then they are very effective. And, of course, they are also great with Armageddon. But the other units are good, except for the Pegasi, which are not suitable as a combat stack, but they have many other uses. And the heroes in the Fortress are also excellent.

Dirty_Player, I completely agree with what was said about dragons: I already mentioned that their magic immunity is a "double-edged sword," with the main drawback being the inability to resurrect or even heal them (unless with a tent and first aid skill). That's why, when playing as Fortress or Dungeon, there's a good reason to try to acquire the Sphere of Vulnerability. The second option: if there's enough strength to fight, I don't upgrade dragons when playing as Green or Red (but this results in a loss of initiative in battle due to slower speed).

By the way, the immunity of golden drakes is generally useless (the only advantage is if you manage to get Armageddon). Since they are vulnerable to explosions, you can destroy them in one turn. And by the way, while you're upgrading them, a lot of time will pass; it's easier to find a Fortress on a hill.

Black dragons are doing well in this regard, but golden dragons are not. By the way, golden dragons can be resurrected with a sacrifice, but this is so rare that it's almost a fantasy.

Black dragons are fine with this.

I don't understand, what is fine: that they don't heal or resurrect?:eek:

Golden dragons can be resurrected with the help of Sacrifice, but this is so rare that it's almost a fantasy :)

But it has already been written many times that Sacrifice does not work on golden dragons, because the game considers its resurrection function to be a 4th-level spell!:( I haven't checked it myself, but people who have encountered this wrote about it.

And another ability of dragons and phoenixes, which is a "double-edged sword" and which I didn't mention, although the AI uses it a lot, and now and then you suffer unnecessary losses (if you can't resurrect the dead): fire breath! Just now, a clever computer twisted and bit my red dragons (there were as many as 172 of them!) so that they "in return" fried the harpies! :( Luckily, I have a lot of mana, so I resurrected everyone!:smile54:

although the AI makes full use of it, and every now and then you take unnecessary lossesBy the way, this annoys me too, which is why in Dragon Utopia and hives, if I take dragons, I place units of 1 next to them (let their own dragons roast them). And if there's an army that's better not to replace with ones, then I don't take dragons.

And there’s another ability of dragons and phoenixes that’s a “double-edged sword,” and I didn’t mention it, although the AI uses it extensively, and sometimes you end up taking unnecessary losses (if you can’t resurrect the fallen): fire breath! Just now, a clever AI maneuvered and hit my red dragons (and there were as many as 172 of them!) in such a way that they “in return” roasted the harpies! Luckily, I had plenty of mana, so I resurrected them all!

To avoid this, you just need to avoid putting yourself in a vulnerable position. However, in some situations, you can fight the computer’s dragons more effectively.

No, it's that explosions don't affect them.

Unfortunately, I no longer have the game on my computer, so I can't check. But I'm 90+% sure that Sacrifice WILL work as it should.

And here's another ability of dragons and phoenixes that is a "double-edged sword" and that I didn't mention, although the AI uses it all the time, and now and then, you suffer unnecessary losses (if you can't resurrect the fallen): Fire Breath! Just now, a clever computer outmaneuvered and attacked my red dragons (there were as many as 172 of them!) in such a way that they "in return" roasted the harpies! :( Luckily, I have plenty of mana, so I resurrected everyone!:smile54:

Fire Breath, also known as "blowing them away," is a thing that, in skilled hands, becomes a powerful trump card, but in the hands of a weak player, it can ruin a battle. Games in Town of the Third Age are a clear confirmation of this.
