Id have to stick with gremlins, though not very strong, they're very useful with the repair...

oops i forgot about gremlins 
sorry bout that XD
true they arent very strong... but i find sabototage more useful than repair... i mean getting rid of your opponents triple flaming balista can really help you out 
the gremlins are most useful in the early stages though.. giving you some limited ranged support to save your hero some mana... then again their damage is limited and they cant really do much unupgraded with only a pitiful 7 initiative

definitely defenders/mountain guards 
You can kill all units guarding mines and stuff, if you start with the defender hero, and if you already have the defender building on the castle upgrade it. you end up with kind of 96 mountain guards in round 1, and your ready to kill everything in your path.

assasins are the best because of their pioson ability. even if they are the slowest growing lvl 1 they make up for it in the damage they do. if you had to fight a lot of assasins or master gremlins for example who would you choose? for me at least I would choos the gremlins because they are eisyer to kill and they don't do as much damage to your troops. plus the no melee penelte is awsome they can hold there own against other melee lvl 1.

Stalkers are simply amazing at creeping thanks to Invisibility, and Familiars are great at weakening the enemy magic hero.

yeah I just got ToE (I know I am kinda late) so I have yet to experience the full potential of stalkers but from what I've done so far they are awsome.

that is something that is a great about the haven the ability to upgrade into higher units like pesents into archers. But you can't say much about them in combat unless you have like 200+

true but they arent meant to be used in combat... only to shield archers and more important units... and once you have squires.. you should only keep peasants in castle for money (preferably with elaine)... upgrade 20 into archers per week... the rest keep them for money .. i usually dont even upgrade the peasant building unless its the last building or anyways... much later in the game

Why? It's pretty cheap and the Conscripts and Brutes are a thousand times better than Peasants (ok, maybe I exaggerated)

Depends on if counting heroes and racial specials or not. Because goblins with high starting rage and under the goblin guy can be down right nasty. If not then I would vote for the pixie line or the assassin line.

It is not as easy to do so with the changes in Necromancy now. Though you can still get plenty of them.

again each one is good in their own way the stalkers and pixies are better to use as attacking units... while peasants are more of a meat shield/money getting unit
and as for not upgrading the peasant building.. i simply dont do it because it takes up a build turn... id rather build something useful than upgrade a unit that will die in 1 shot anyways... and like i said.. once i get squires.. i rarely use peasants (other than for money purposes)
even though its cheap... it takes away your option to build something else

But you don't build every turn from week 3-4 onwards, do you

well that depends on the map
if you have the resources.. why not
the only other time i would upgrade the huts is when im trying to reach town level 15 without wasting too many resources
and even if i have nothing else to build... i would rather use that 1500 gold to buy units or save up for a certain building than upgrade the peasants XD

Well if you usr pesants for a meat shield then it would be in your best intrests to upgrade them you get like three more hit points. plus its only 1500 not that much.

Actually you get double hit points, which means they'll die double as hard
