A coatyl is more akin to a dragon, it is a large feathered flying reptile with loads of power and magic.

Naga, is a better name for a 'human equivalent' race of reptile.

Slaan is another possibility, although it may be under dnd copyright?

If you want to change the game, then fine, its not perfect, however it is designed to stick to the heroes canon of game conventions. Some of those including having one creature have all the 'perks' of multiple creatues (1 peasant can stop 10000 paladins getting past) can't be fixed without fundament...

Well: DnD allows casting of spells under defensive casting rule, without retalitation.
Warhammer: Also allows casting of some spells in melee.
IKWarmachine: Also allows casting of non-shooting spells in melee.

Its a problem of the calculations. At higher numbers, casters are ineffective, which means they are more effective in higher stack number with fewer individuals, for a constant number of individuals. Maybe if casters were limited to having only one large stack?

It maybe illogical, but there are many things similarly illogical. If you take it meta-game (outside the theme, just as mechanics) it offers a method of differentiating spellcasters from shooters, and giving hybrids (titans/liches/mages) an advantage to counter other advantages (succubi's "pinb...

You have to be in a position to capitalise though. In many maps, you are unlikely to be able to find/get to a city of his in time to use it, so you have to place yourself in position. Its possible for him to attack your hero, if for instance, its a day where good troops are weaker. As I said, crippl...

And, as I said, he has to use about twice as much troops for every 300 he kills, if you curse them. Or alternatively you can make them act more often etc to increase damage output. There are many styles of combat available. Hell, you can even fight using power, rather than attrition to defeat your e...

IMHO its one of the perks casters have. Usually, they are weaker (overall) than archers at high levels. For instance titans are much better shooting than casting lightning, but its useful as if they chuck something into contact with your titan, you can lightning instead of giving away a free retalia...

You can't have interesting armies without differential balance around the levels of creatures. Pixies are very weak. You need a lot more to challenge a good army. However a small group of pixies is more likely to kill a few of your weak creatures than zombies. IMHO: zombies need a boost anyway. The ...

Because chance has no place in strategy games? If your strategy is successful by such a narrow margin that 'weeks' make a big impact, then stiff. If you hoard creatures for weeks and then its plague, then stiff. Its a risk you take. Maybe some of the 'week of' should be toned down, but overall its g...

This is a good strategy, but not necessarily the best. I believe it depends on your opponent etc. Fighting a ranger with wraiths, lich and skele archers as favoured, is going to cane your army hard. Additionally, teleporting non-retaliators, and tying up vampires with ancient treants using defence a...

A stack of 30 Archmages is much easier to beat than 3 stacks of 10 Archmages. It's always harder to defeat multiple stacks then a single one. The problem with casters is that they do more dmg with 3 stacks of 10 then a stack of 30. Unless you have upgraded succubi and they can insta-kill all the st...

I happy enough with most of the art in H5. Aside from one or two glaringly odd decisions I'm OK with it. My disappointment with the Spectral Dragons doesn't come from their looks, which is fine IMHO, but because they have no real majesty and they just don't seem special because they really aren't a...
