What do u mean by 'farelly medium'? Cerberus has the highest combat strength (if you count 'no retaliation' attack) from all 3rd level creatures so I think it would be among the best 3rd lev creatures even with half speed.
Harpy hag is the same case on 2nd level.
Centaur captain is the best lev1 creature, again, with low speed it would be overcomed only by halbredier.
On the other side, creatures like scorpicore or silver pegasi would be really poor without their speed.
Dragon flies would be poor without its speed AND specialities. Low speed won't make them useless by itself.
So the question is somewhat strange, because a/ you are mixing up different issues, b/ speed is always useful

Huh?
Of course speed is usefull in combat.
I think you neglected to mention that many of these creatures speed is used just as inportantly to increase the movement of your scouts and main hero.As far as Master Genies are concerned i tend to use them more as a support unit to cast beneficial spells in combat,there speed in this case is only useful because of the order in which they move in the combat round or when fighting against medium strength ranged units ranged units and i agree with Tenzor when he says many of the creatures you mentioned are a little more than "fairly medium".

Their different advantages make them a lot more than medium creatures,but their advantages are based upon their speed first of all.If the enemy has three types of archers standing next to each other,then cast haste on cerberus so it can reach them and they all take damage and can't shoot.Dragonflies can weaken strong enemy units before they can charge such as ancient behemoths,or dread knights.Scorpicores can paralyze,but also if you use them quick.
