AA can be beaten by AB.... therefore they're not the strongest. But it doesn't matter how 3DO ranked the monsters... they just made AA the top, maybe it's the HOMM3 "figurehead"? AA does sort of represent H3, but then so does Catherine Ironfist =) Has anyone noticed the similarity (near-identical!) between Catherine Ironfist and that chick from Everquest II ??? IMO EQII ripped her and shoved her into their own game...

Archangel is the best creature according to creators of HOMM III:
creature   AI value
Archangel      8776
Black Dragon   8721
Gold Dragon    8613
Titan          7500
Archdevil      7115
...
But also most of experienced players think that AA is the best one. In my opinion, Black Dragon and AA are the best creatures in game. As for Ancient Behemoth, yes, it can kill AA (with luck!), but this comparison isn't wise - Behemoth's speciality is extremely useful against AA, because it will reduce defense from 30 to 6 (that means more than twice damage inflicted by Behemoths). When fighting against mediocre or weak creatures, Archangel is much better than Ancient Behemoth and don't forget that we still haven't taken the ressurection ability, flying and speed of AA into account.

Play on 200% and rush. Don't wait too long till u attack your opponent. The longer u wait, the stronger and overwhelming he becomes. Have more confidence in the strength of your army. many "offline" players underestimate the strength of their own troops.
Try those campaigns....focus on the might skills (offense, armorer, tactics, artillery....and logistics), and get earth and air. Expert slow or expert haste on a Might hero is even more powerfull. Why? Because the effect will be the same as if casted by a magic hero, but the units on their turn will hit way harder...and kill more monsters in a fewer turns...so no damage spells (like lightning, chainlighting etc..) are needed. And this tactic works vs all kind of troops. If u fight vs big amount of golems week 1 for example, u will have problems with a magic hero with air magic, sorecery and intelligence. But a might hero with offense, tactics, earth and artillery will loose a few level 1 units...thats all.

To see it yourself, try the following scenario (make a map in the editor with the following conditions):
Stronghold, Gurnisson level 5, expert artillery and 7 goblins vs 100 walking undead on rough terrain. No spellbook.
Only to recognize what small army u need to kill such a "big" monster stack. They could be guards to the next area for example. An area with many goodies, golds, mines, next town...etc....the earlier u take it, the better.

I have savegames from nearly all scenarios of all campaigns (SoD). If u need some to just check how it went, what spells, skills and units my main had, how long it took to win a scenario etc, just post your mail addy here and i can send.
