Poll Question:
Titans
Do you think that Titans being ranged attackers is a good thing or not, related to the other level 7 troops? Do not consider magic immunity or melee penalty. Just the fact that they are ranged attackers. It can be good because they don't stay in the middle of the battle and you can loose them, but it can be bad because they only do half damage if you don't have archers skill, artifacts or Precision.
Methinks (geez I love this word  )that it's bad. You can't use them as a level 7 troop without those mentioned artifacts or spells.

look at the stats of a titan and you know its a good L7, and ranged attack is always a good thing, try beating a tower army that has recanters and the titans surrounded by golems and nagas

well, there really is no problem, since there is the option to decide wether you use them as ranged attackers or in melee, you can just switch between different modes of attack for every creature.

Yeah but their speed is rather low than other L7.
And andi, stats aren't everything. They can be changed, except the shots, by using spells or artifacts.

Well...
It's how you play them Titans can easily beat all level 7 creatures if they were faster than them. I actually think they should be faster than most 7th level monster because it doesn't need to fly or walk to attack but rather shoot.
When I play tower with Torosar, Titans rocks the house with the Naga queens! Almost 85% of my winning is because of the tower and the Titans are really effective specially when under seige, I always cast lightning @ the catapult then blow it with my titans so the walkers can't get inside my castle except if they have cyclops to destroy it, then my ranged attackers does all the job for me!

Perji, strenght of the Titans is that they force the opponent either to go to your side of battle field or to perish. Although their speed of 11 seems slow for a level 7, it is still as fast as Stronghold's fastest unit and faster than speed of most creatures in game. They do half damage ONLY when troops of opponent are out of their 10-hex range. And as andi said, the stats of the Titans are good and they won't get down easily like most of the other shooters do. Artifacts doesn't matter. If your hero has some good arftifacts, why not Tower's?
And speaking of magic, there is no town that can compete with Tower's Mage Guild level 5 + Library, and only few heroes who can compete with Wizards magically. So Tower has better chances to get that Implosion and resurrection than any other town.

I love it, it allows you to hit them before they even get to you, and without retaliation (if they're far away). Unfortunately, I've gotten too used to thinking of them as Harpy Hags, and forgot they were touching another creature a few too many times. And... don't they not have a melee penalty?

Huh? And what about the Conflux and their Grail?

Ok ok so you won there. But my opinion about the Titans won't change. Perhaps you didn't even tried to change it, but that's it.

I'm not too fond of Titans. I find them a weak level 7. In fact I find the tower weak over all except for nagas (I love nagas!!) and magi. I don't know if they are acctually that weak, but they don't really suit my style of play. The ranged attack is nice but I only really find it effective with advanced precision or golden bow.
PS Shadowlord:- if you have teleport it doesn't matter if you have walkers or not, does it? And if it is sufficiently late in the game that you have loadsa titans (and ur not cheating!!) then any self respecting hero would likely have teleport, right?

I don't need Teleport with titans... Titans rule! They are one of the most effective 7th level creatures once used properly... with advanced haste or prayer! They will rock the house!

Man, Titans are dead meat in front of any dragons (not ghost of course) and archangels. That's a known fact.

One on one, Titans and Gold Dragons are an even match. Both average 6 hits to kill. The Gold Dragon can get the 6th hit first by waiting on turn 3 (we'll assume neither defends during the battle), but a Titan has a chance to kill the Dragon on the 5th hit (a Gold has no chance of doing so to the Titan).
Perji, better half damage at long range than no damage at long range.
