The birds are weak... that's true... they won't last long against neutrals...

The birds are weak... yes... they won't last long against neutrals...

Monsters paired with ogre mages are good, especially when they reach a certain level, but then it's just a typical example of brute force in action.

Ogres cast decent magic. The first strike on a creature, and that's it:D

Do Ogres have a Haste spell? If they do, then we split them in half: one group attacks with the first strike, and the other casts Haste on the monsters, and then we move forward:smile14:

There's no rush, but there are some good spells against mages.

yes, increased speed wouldn't hurt the Barbarians... But Magic Shackles are an effective counter against mages. Especially if the opponent doesn't have a way to remove them.

Actually, I've been thinking about these Barbarians, and I'm starting to think they're quite strong. The main thing is probably to quickly level up the hero (in all aspects of combat) and go on the offensive, not letting the opponent develop.

Barbarians are all about brute force, as they lack magic. And Cyclops are truly powerful; they've become even more popular compared to the third game. They attack all adjacent units, and their damage is quite significant. Personally, I don't have any doubts – I definitely build Cyclops and ignore Ogres.
