Farm Lady as a downgrade. No dude, a peasants wife is definatly way more dangerous than her hubby.
Haha, true that :)

Succubi should be upg into Succubi Mistress since the DEFINITION of a Succubi is a SHE demon :)

Also, Stallion sounds a bit... putting it delicately LAME!
What about, Nightmare -> Flaming Steed ?
Also, shoot me now, but I for one hate that Magi -> Arch Magi deal, I know it's classic but it just sucks, it makes 3 Arch titled creautres, and that's just wrong

That's true, but only because Archangel is a common term in the english language, Arch Devil (is just addition of Arch as in higher) so goes for Arch Magi...
But it is STILL too many Arch in my count!

There are other languages where it's one word also. And Arch-Mage came first in Heroes. Maybe they chould change Arch Devil into something else, like say... DaemienLucifer :devious:

Given the fact that the Balor has the Vorpal Blade special ability, I suggest that a new unit should be created, alongside the noble and marvellous Mutant Gaint Whale: the Jabberwock.

The Jabberwock is a fantastical creature invented by Lewis Carroll (the one who wrote Alice in Wonderland) and is vulnerable to vorpal blades. In fact, Lewis Carroll invented the word "vorpal" in his nonsense-poem Jabberwocky.

I would ruin the game, as whoever got the Rabbit would crush all opposition. That thing is unstopable. ;)
