why u dont go in "defend" modus for example @ angles or dragons if they can attack u twice ? I mean its not nessasary to "charge"

Angels could also defend until behes move :) It's a standard idea, that in such cases slower unit must "charge"
@KutaphoneXСағат бұрын
I was surprised how they lost to Archangels, so I started to wonder why... and I realised that Behemoths are late game beasts, the longer game goes on, the better stats all heroes have - the bigger advantage Behs get... they raise up with dmg while enemies almost stay still with defense ^^

Nice video, as always! I really appreciate the adequacy of the title... I have a feeling that 3DO tried to make all the four basic elementals (air, water, fire and earth) quite similar to each other in terms of stats as to none would stand out significantly. As the outcome, we have Air being extraordinarily strong for a second tier unit, whereas Earth is ultra weak. Water and Fire are mediocre ones. This concept of elemental balancing may be even as old as Heroes 2, where all elementals were basicaly of the same tier.

I like the having two stacks battle it out idea because it allows for a demonstration of the RNG, which in this case hurt the poor Black Dragons a bit, and didn't help the Gold Dragons on their turn through the gauntlet. Quite funny. I think the growth results kinda make the Black Dragons seem worse than they are, and the cost efficiency ones maybe a bit better, all because of the Gold Dragon battles. It might be a good idea to set up some part of the system to show when it was a clean stomp (both stacks win) or a close battle (where on stack on each side is victorious). Also, as it is quite rare to have two equal stacks of Archangels, will there be a redoing of their Gauntlet Run but without the Resurrection ability? It was nice to see here.

Fight tactic with Jaggernauts should be changed. If instead of hitting them you just fly away - the outcome will be different.

Oh. Oh that first battle. Ouch. They really do need to be protected, these ones. And even in an actual straight shootout are a bit weak. But I suppose the weakness effect is actually one of the main points of them. Sorceresses seem a good deal better. Though I look forward to the army version of this because some of these cases would be greatly helped by a unit able to get in front of them. Even the Sorceresses pay for the weakness ability by being a tad weaker than some other ranged units regarding how hard they hit, I suppose. But then, Cove has another unit that will instantly kill at range sometimes, so... I look forward to seeing how that plays out.

Not very good. Need higher speed for sure. Maybe instead of regeneration, they should regenerate a part of their stack up to full units at the beginning of every turn. Something like "At the start of their turn, regenerate 5% of the current cumulative health".
