150000 skelly will die after 5000 Sprites, not before.


Wow, 5000 sprites? How long did you play to reach that amount?
At such a scale, a tiny stat difference becomes HUGE! Let's keep it in realistic numbers...

My opinion:
I'm not sure about which one is the best early game...They were all made for specific purposes to keep the faction belanced, and it all depends on the situation. (1vs1, with or without hero,...)
But late game, skeletons are often the strongest, because of their overwhelming numbers. Yes, they're nothing without Necromancy, but who other then a Necromancer would want them in their army?

Case Closed.

Skeletons, for one reason:
strength in numbers.
Just go around preying on weaker armys and you'll find you'll have hundreds of them in no time.

The centaur captains are faster than the others,and on par with the halebardier.I'm no big Rampart fan,but I have to admit,four legs are better than 2,in this case,Cetaur Captains are better than Halebardiers.

1. skelletons - high numbert because of necromancy

2. centaur captains - fast, good damage and life

3. sprites - fast with no retalitation

4. master gremlins - the only lvl 1 shooter, comes in high numbers

5. halberdies - like centaur captain, only slower

6. gnolls - like halberdies with less live

7. troglytes - comes in high number in the beginning, if you use shakti, you have a very easy beginning

8. imps - bad demon fodder

9. goblins - fodder

This comparison is on a purley normal weekly growth comparison. Outside of that, skeleton wins, hands down.
1. Centaur Captain(fast, good stats)
2.Sprite(fast, no retaliation)
3. Master Gremlin (shooter)
4. Pikeman (good stats, 'cept for speed.)
5. Gnoll (decent level 1 all around)
6. Skeleton (average without numbers)
7. Troglodye(meh. It's okay.)
8.Goblin (below-average)
9. Imp (Crap, all around.)

Skeletons with their numbers can do for a good 7th lv creature.

gremlin!
pick the upgrade for master gremlin and you can get 100-150 gremlin in the 1st week which is good in the early part!

1. Halberdier - Slower, but more defense and cheaper than Cenatur Captains
2.Centaur Captains - Fast and strong, but vulnerable and expensive.
3. Skeleton Warriors - Strong and many.
4. Gnoll - Strong, but the expensive upgrade spoil the good unupgraded gnolls-
5. Master Gremlins - Okay shooter
6. Sprites - Victim, no enemy retaliation and fast.
7. Troglodytes - Decent
8. Goblins - Okay
9. Imp - Crap and also expensive. Familiars are better.

I think... in relevance to how useful they are to their respective alignments in the beginning...

1) Master Gremlin (tower can't start without them, honestly)

2) Skeletons (unless you've got wights, but since they aren't in the building order, most people don't use them)

3) Sprites (sprites and a ballista can do wonders )

4) Imps ( for the first few days, inferno DOES rely on these...)

5) Gnolls (fortress can put a powerstack of these to good use. 30 gnolls, 1 fly, 6 lizard warriors can defeat a hydra pond)

6) Goblins

7) Centaurs (Rampart gets elves v. quickly)

8) Marksmen (same as rampart)

I think he means that you get marksman early which makes the pikemen not as usefull as other first level creatures in the beginning.

I think Halberdier is best second place Centaur Captain and third place for Skellies. Three of them is great. Sprite for the 4th place for me yeah No Retaliate and speed is great but they have poor A,D and Health.
