------------------------------------------------------------------
Comments: Bandits are good with a thief hero because they are invisible
and it's easy in the beginning to flag mines giving you a head start
in resources. Orc's are good for a ranged units but their short range
means the enemy must be close to them which than they could do full damage.
Pirates are awesome in the sea because they get bonus in speed, attack and
defense making them powerful at sea. Troglodyte is immune to spells like
blind.

Comment: Evil Eye's Cast spells like slow, cowardice, curse etc. Medusa has
Unlimited shots plus they can turn the enemy into stone making them lose
a life. Minotaurs are good because they can block spells, range attack etc.
Trolls can be tough to kill because they can recover their health.

---------------------------------------------------
Comment: Chaos has, too my opinion the best 4th level creatures
The Hydra has 250 health with and No Retaliation attack making it
hard to kill because the enemies cant counter attack them. The Black
Dragon are the Best four level creature with the most health of 400!!
and immune to all magic so the enemy can even cast harmful spells on it
but you cant cast helpful spell on it either. They also do the most damage
from 55-110 damage in one shot!!.
============================================================================
6. Strategies
============================================================================
Haven - Also Angels could resurrect thier dead units so you should take
out the angels first and be careful since Haven hero can cast Chaos
Ward on their units!!
Academy - Watch out for Titans since they have Chaos Ward and Genies are
annoying emeies because they can cast some really nasty spells so i
would suggest that you get them first.
Asylum - If they have Black Dragons than your units can be toast so quickly
and they cant be affected by any harmful spells unless you have the ring
of greater negatation so cast Mass Slayer on your units since this spell
does 50% more damage to level 4 units.
Preserve - Damn Nature units they have soo many units that they can hire
from thier Creature Portal but all their units are living so you can cast so
powerful spells like, also cast the Vampiric spell on your units.Dont forget
to use the Plague Spell against them. Mass Weakness, Curse, and Mass Sorrow
is also good to use.
Stronghold - Wow all they have is a 10% magic protection being deal since
they cant cast no spells at you so you can use any usefull spells here.
Necropolis - Spells like Plague and Vamiric are pretty useless here,
Mass Curse and weakness are usefull here, chain lighting is good.
============================================================================

weakness.
