Hold yer horses, boyo, the level 5 poll has just popped out of the oven a day and a half ago.
I will do the level 6 poll next week, and no, I for one will not be voting for either the black dragons or the titans, if that's what you were implying you naughty thing you.

Yes, the euphony of it is especially appreciated when they blow your vampires to smithereens and then proceed to be blown to dust themselves.ThunderTitan wrote:Power Lich, because i've always liked the name...

Tested again. You are right, I was wrong. Apologies.Metathron wrote: Well, that was just so completely unbelievable to me that I had to go ahead and test it with a wizard with 22 Archmages sieging a wizard's town. And guess what - the arrow was BROKEN and the damage halved, so obviously you are confusing this with HoMM III.
You know, it's embarassing enough that I sounded so sure of myself in my post. But what's worse is that I did test it a hundred times this summer in H2 and H3, with/without artifacts, with/without Archery, and to show for it I ended up remembering it WRONG. Stupid defective organic memory.
The documentation error I was really meaning to correct was H3's manual saying un-upgraded mages couldn't penetrate walls - they can. But yeah, neither can in H2.
not jumping the gun, just pretty sure of what the result will be, let's remember we are talking BEST UNIT, not favourite etcHold yer horses, boyo, the level 5 poll has just popped out of the oven a day and a half ago.

Tier 6 is really three tiers, and price is always a factor. So yeah, you're jumping the gun.asandir wrote:not jumping the gun, just pretty sure of what the result will be, let's remember we are talking BEST UNIT, not favourite etcHold yer horses, boyo, the level 5 poll has just popped out of the oven a day and a half ago.

A tough one. I like the Archmages, because I like shooters, but I think Champions edge them out. They are REALLY cheap, come in great numbers, have fairly good statas and, most importantly, they are the fastest unit in the game (well, tied with phoenix), which means you always get the first turn in battle. Invaluable in H2 because that means you also get the first spell-cast. Champions + mass haste/slow = deadly.

For me, I like the Champions. Low cost, good defense and quick. My number one unit.
For number 2, I like the Hydra. excellent defense stats and great Castle defenders.
For number 3, Unicorn. Good fast unit for both army and castle defense. But cost a bit more.
For number 4, I like the Troll. Regeneration comes in handy for tight battles.
For number 5, gotta go with Arch Mages. Best of the two shooters in this class.
And last are the Liches. They are the first units AI goes after and they die too easily, and yeah, they kill your own units when they shoot. Not good.
