Posts from The most USELESS monster.

There are many slow units, and they quickly die in groups from enemy archers, even at level 4. I mean monsters and hydras; by the time they enter the battle, half of them are already gone...

well, the monsters aren't slow, and neither is the Tactician skill... with Tactician 5, they run across the entire map, almost the entire map. Hydras + teleport + cat-like reflexes... you'll have a lot of problems. You can just type "gg" right away if she manages to hit you once with those spells.

The most useless monsters: Trogolodites – immunity to blindness doesn’t provide any real benefit, Peasants – they are weak and only good for collecting money, Pirates – they are somewhat useful at sea, but on land, they have no useful functions, Bandits – they are only invisible on the map, but during combat, they don’t have any useful functions. In general, my opinion is that all monsters are strong in numbers.

bandits are one of my favorite units for the Dungeon faction. They run around a lot and also steal resources from under monsters near mines. peasants, well, they're just weak in general. troglodytes versus unicorns, they win :D pirates, you have to find them first so they don't give you useful buffs, and there won't be many monsters of level 1-2 in any faction.

In my opinion, there are no useless creatures among the castle units. Even nagas can be useful... if you find them in an outer dwelling, because they are very good in melee combat. And ballistas – if you need to defend or fight vampires. But among the neutral creatures, there are some that are truly useless: troglodytes, mummies, and gargoyles.

Peasants are useless... pff. They accumulate and increase your income, and although they are slow, they are strong. Mummies are generally a bad unit – slow and weak; you only keep them because of their cost-effectiveness. But the most useless unit is the pirate.

In my opinion, there are no useless creatures among the castle units...

Apparently, that's true; each one can be used for something. As for the neutral creatures, I think the ones that are truly useless are those that I wouldn't take into my army – not even for free, let alone for money. There are a few of those – Zombie, Troll, Peasant, Earth Elemental. Of course, even they can be useful when there's nothing else available...

You can put peasants in the mine, and they will generate money. Zombies and trolls are indeed bad, but the Earth Elemental is slow, but one hit will settle the score.

Trolls are sometimes very useful due to their regeneration. In any case, they are better than Minotaurs, because with the latter, it all depends on luck.

P.S.: In my opinion, Medusas are better than Minotaurs...
I agree about the trolls; they are a good unit. By the way, Earth Elementals are also not completely useless...

Both are suitable for defense, and if there are many of them, they can also be used for attack. But trolls are too slow for attack, and it's harder to assemble a large squad of field dweorgs.

Medusas and minotaurs are completely different units, and the question here is not about uselessness. As for earth elementals, if you compare all alternative elementals that are summoned or recruited in the portal, then they are the last candidate.
Usefulness is determined only by comparison with other units, and if you exclude all those that bring some benefit, then only those that are almost useless will remain.

As for the Earth Elemental, if you compare all the alternative elementals that can be summoned or recruited through the portal, it's the least likely candidate.

In my opinion, the Air Elemental is much weaker than the Earth Elemental, but it has good resistance to attacks and can quickly penetrate the enemy's rear lines.

As for the Earth Elemental, if you compare all the alternative elementals that can be summoned or recruited in the portal, it's the least likely candidate.

I used to think the same. I also thought that Air Elementals could be used as tanks. But it turned out that Air Elementals are worse than Earth Elementals.

I've never compared summoned creatures (from the portal) with each other. Each of them has its own functionality. And why compare them? Buy one of this type, another of that type, and a dozen of the rest. Leprechauns are simply essential for melee attacks, reducing losses by half. Satyr are often needed when you have Rangers and Mages, to give them the first turn and an attack bonus. Earth Elementals provide cover against spellcasting creatures. Valkyries, as everyone knows, are necessary to stop stompers and slow down most creatures. Air Elementals (and the Butterfly Sprite) are for quickly attacking/blocking Rangers, and sometimes they can be useful, like the Butterfly Sprite, for distracting slow infantry (Butterfly Sprites are cheaper than a Swarm of Wasps, but like a Swarm of Wasps, they can force some infantry to effectively skip a turn; more often, this infantry is turned around). Fire Elementals (Swarm of Wasps) are very often used in combination with Valkyries to break through large numbers of neutral infantry. The only criticism I can offer is about the Lights; they are removed from the game when summoned if a Swarm of Wasps is summoned. The other elementals and summoned creatures are unlikely to be interchangeable.

Is it better to gradually acquire a small number of different units, or to acquire a large number of units of the same type, as they will still defeat all the others? In my opinion, the most useful units in the Portal are water elementals, but fire elementals are just as good. Unlike the Hive, they have immunity to fire magic and accumulate faster.
