Fire elementals have significantly higher stats, so they deal more damage to a single target than electric elementals.
But, to be honest, I rarely use fire elementals.

I agree. Dwarves have the most balanced units, although it's still not perfect. For example, with the "Tans," I always choose the electric ones, and I don't know of any cases where the fire ones would be better.
It couldn't be that there was 100% balance; that would be too much to ask.

It seems like the Great Horde. Because all the troops are designed for different situations: for example, trappers to slow down fast creatures, and goblin warlocks against mages. Or orcish fighters for assault, and warmongers for defense.

Order: archers >> crossbowmen, spearmen > zealots, archangels > seraphs
League: hunters >> assassins, 1st tier of lizard riders >> 2nd, similarly with hydras
Conflux: wind elementals > death elementals, archers >> masters
Horde: paoka >> dark wyverns, warmongers are slightly better than fighters (15% chance for a second strike – a weak ability, and there isn't much else), it's difficult with the rest, and you can probably expect all of them in some way or another
Clans: warriors > defenders, lava dragons > Arcata dragons, again, it's difficult with the rest.
Fortress: princes > higher vampires, higher liches > archliches, messengers > banshees
Inferno: perhaps a rather wide range of usefulness at levels 1-4, slightly more ambiguous with the horses, and the last levels are specialized and relatively decent
Academy: obsidian golems > steel golems, sultan of genies > vizier of genies, it's difficult with the rest. Titans and thunderbirds are almost identical.
I also stopped at the Horde. I could have voted for the Academy, but there are just too many units that are too similar, but not balanced, but different.

Definitely not Necropolis, many alternative units are better (skeletons, vampires, dracoliches), and liches are better in their older versions.
Definitely not Inferno, again, many alternative units are better (demons, succubi, hellhounds), possibly also dogs and pitfiends, but it depends on the situation.
Definitely not Stronghold, also several units are not very balanced (centaurs, shamans, wyverns, cyclops).
Regarding the remaining factions.
Humans are relatively balanced, perhaps archers are not very good, and monks are not always useful.
The Sylvan faction has almost all units that are good, but the archers' upgrade is very unbalanced.
In the Dungeon faction, lizards and maybe witches are questionable, otherwise, they are acceptable.
In the Academy, only rakshasas are not very balanced.
The Fortress faction doesn't have a major imbalance, but berserkers and dragons might be slightly overpowered.
In conclusion, Humans or Academy, probably, or maybe Fortress. It's hard to say for sure. Necropolis and Inferno are the most unbalanced, and Stronghold is not far behind.

Definitely not Orcs; they also have some uneven tiers (Centaurs, Shamans, Wyverns, Cyclops).
Shamans: Earth Shamans are better without Blood Magic, while Air Shamans are better with Blood Magic due to Chain Lightning; it's quite clear.
Wyverns: I agree.
Cyclops: Free Cyclops are indispensable during sieges and attack a large area; Blood Cyclops have slightly better stats and are more predictable (the enemy won't catch you off guard with an area attack on their own units; with Free Cyclops, you have to be careful, which is probably especially relevant against humans), and Blood Cyclops also have an aura. In the end, they aren't that unbalanced.
Humans are relatively balanced; the only issue is with Archers, and sometimes with Monks.

Centaurs are only slightly different, relatively speaking.
Shamans – Earth Shamans are better without Blood Magic, Air Shamans are better with Blood Magic, it’s clear.
Wyverns – I agree.
Cyclops – Free Cyclops are indispensable during sieges and attack a large area; Blood Cyclops have slightly better stats and are more predictable (the enemy won’t catch you off guard with an area attack on your own units; with Free Cyclops, you have to be careful, which is probably especially relevant against humans), and Blood Cyclops also have an aura. In the end, they aren’t that unbalanced.
Earth Daughters are almost always better, except for sieges/defending the Castle.
Cyclops might be more balanced if the ones with clubs didn’t harm their own units so much.
In my opinion, the imbalance of archers covers the imbalances of almost all other Factions (except perhaps Elves and Tier). In addition, everything I mentioned, plus Griffins. Everyone takes Royal Griffins. In general, the balance of the Order is very far from ideal.
Griffins are also roughly equal; the second tier is for playing defensively, especially against melee units. The first tier will fly once, land near the enemies, and be taken down there; that’s their role. I don’t see a big difference; it all depends on the situation: what build, against whom, and so on.
Overall, I’m not saying that Humans are the most balanced; I’m just saying that they are one of the contenders, like Mages and Dwarves. But there’s no real balance between the tiers anywhere.

And plus, the maximum damage is weak compared to all the drawbacks.
The archer building is also strong, it's just hard to use, but sometimes you can play through them.

Purely personal impressions:
- Humans - all are equally useful, except for the forgotten crossbowmen;
- Elves - all are equally useful, except for the almost forgotten masters;
- Mages - all are equally useful, except for the obsolete obsidian gargoyles;
- Dwarves - all are equally useful, except for the warriors and Arcat dragons, who clearly outperform their counterparts in terms of parameters and abilities;
- Undead - all are equally useful, except for the banshees, which are significantly less effective than their colleagues;
- Demons - all are equally useful, except for the imps, with their purely situational ability;
- Wood - all are equally useful, except for the nimble riders, with their weak flanking attack;
- Orcs - all are equally useful, except for the blood cyclops, who are inferior to the free orcs in every respect.
Conclusion: there are no ideal races, but dwarves are slightly behind the others.

I don't think so. The game mostly consists of dealing damage, and that's the most important factor here.
It's almost impossible even in the endgame, where the radius is 3. And besides, the damage of archers is about twice as much...

Bloodeyes Cyclops are better than Free Cyclops in terms of initiative, speed, and safety. If, as with most dragons, you simply need to prevent a single empty cell between the Cyclops and another friendly unit, then the Free Cyclops requires approximately 30% of the battlefield to be clear so that it doesn't smash half of its own army with its club.
And friendly units can be positioned further away. Or moved away from it if the enemy can get within melee range.
The situation with Goblins depends on the type of enemy and the map. Shamans are useful against mages, but I still find Trappers more useful. Mages are mages, but even mages have mobile units. (I like to set up ambushes for various types of Catapults). But don't underestimate the Shaman's spell. With a sufficient level of rage and the number of these units, they can even give a hard time to the strongest enemy.
Assassins: I used to like playing with Chieftains, but recently I switched to Executioners because of their ability to break the enemy's morale.
Orcs are a separate topic: Warmongers are simply awesome! I still remember the original "Lords of the Horde" campaign where, playing as Kujin, I had to unite the tribes. I threw these "football players" (that's what I called them after that battle) into the thick of the enemy forces of the last enemy hero and only controlled them. Endless retaliation is great!
=====
Another race where I liked the balance is the Undead. Lucar and Warriors can equally determine the outcome of the battle. Any type of Zombie, especially under the command of Orson, is a great force. I didn't notice any difference between Ghosts and Spirits, who is better/worse. As well as Banshees and Death Knights.
======
In general, balance can be found in any race. Artifacts, skills, and abilities of both the units themselves and the hero can smooth out all the shortcomings.
