I agree, harpies are more advantageous in this regard. They have an inherent tactic, and it's not a bad one; it's very effective.

Of course! It's simple: they charge at the enemy, strike, and then receive a counterattack from the weakened enemy... But then, other enemy units start attacking them, and it's uncertain whether they will survive... Harpies will be in greater safety and rarely attack them. For example, there might be a suicidal fairy that you can't hide from behind a monster. But this is inevitable.

But what if a significant detachment of black dragons or other evil creatures flies up to your units?!... Nomads usually go first, deliver a counterattack, and then berserkers, monsters, etc., attack, depending on the strength of the unit...

For black dragons, there is such a wonderful unit as the behemoth. They are so strong that they are second only to BDs in terms of damage. This is despite the fact that their growth is two per week. Or it could be three (the funniest thing is that 3 beh. are cheaper than 1 dr.). In close combat, the black dragon loses to behemoths. And these big guys should soak up the retaliation (pity the poor livestock breeders, they won't survive the fire breath, but the hippos will tank it and continue to treat their enemies to heavy blows).

I'm for a harpy-cyclops-bird hybrid. The harpy is good because it moves away after attacking, avoiding retaliation. The cyclops is good because it's a ranged attacker, and a powerful one at that. And the bird is good because of its growth (4+) and the ability to attack with lightning.
:D

Nah... a harpy will be very expensive (a Citadel costs 5000 gold - that's no joke!):(

The base growth for thunderbirds is 3. A growth of 4 per week is only possible after a lair or nobility level 4. By the way, it's good for attacking. If it lived longer, it would be even better.

You are right, I made a slight mistake. But still, it turns out that the birds (like champions) win by numbers.

Well, that's debatable. You should cherish every unit. If you don't take care of your large army, you can only dream of victory.

And I’m not arguing that you need to preserve your army. But there’s a difference when, for example, you lose Berserkers or Birds. If you have to choose on the battlefield who to sacrifice, it won’t be as painful to lose a unit with a higher growth rate. And this doesn’t mean that I waste troops left and right, but there are no battles without losses! And these… (I’ve never heard such a curse word) Berserkers prove this almost every turn!

I like birds more than Chimeras. For the retaliatory thunder strike. I also really like the artifact "Hammer of Thunder" for the same reason. As for who it's more upsetting to lose, I don't feel good when the opponent attacks my most valuable units and hearts appear with losses... :( Therefore, the more valuable my monster is, the more upsetting it is to lose it.

The difference is very significant. Berserkers lose themselves on the battlefield (they're just crazy).
BASON;66308
If you have to choose on the battlefield which unit to sacrifice, it won't be as painful to lose a unit with a higher growth rate.
Again, Birds have a growth rate of only 3 (or 5 with a menagerie and nobility). Berserkers have a growth rate of 19.

but in war, there are no battles without losses! ....
If there's a war, but there are no losses, then it's not a war.

Sooner or later, you get used to losses... You have to accept it. Although it's not exactly pleasant to bandage wounds and gather the remaining units bit by bit after another battle, slowly rebuilding your once invincible army. Although, I do love these battles! That's where the real fun of the game lies.

An army is not unbeatable because it has a billion creatures, but because it is controlled by an experienced player. If you play against a "smart" opponent who sends all his troops in a direct assault, you can win with an army that is twice as small.

Nomad is better than Harpy (I thought Harpy was better too... when I was very young and didn't notice the Nomad, then I took a closer look... and realized it's better, and you can take a closer look too...). :D
I agree about the Cyclops... But again, it all depends on how long you plan to play. If it's just a quick game, then Fire Ogres are also very good.
And about the 4th-level creatures - definitely, the MONSTER is the best.
When you have 100% magic resistance, lightning doesn't do much.
And you can pin a bird to the ground with spider web arrows! :D
But the MONSTER, it even sounds scary! :D A TANK :smile1
HMM4 The Gathering Storm : BEST!:cool:
