Update: Deep Hydra's Regeneration ability has been brought back to usual power. As for now (although not final) Nival got a bit of their brains back and ditched the ressurect - by - regeneration thing.
Now the Deep Hydra can regenerate 30 - 50 HP each turn.
That adds disired balance, but still, the Hydra, and the whole Dungeoun faction are over powered IMO.
As for what Alcibiades said, in some situations (let's say when facing 1 enemy stack) the strategy of regenerating (even if not ressurecting) by blinding the enemy can be useful, as you will regenerate in 3 turns, enough for the Deep Hydras to reach the enemy and get ready for the kill.

Answer to original question is no.

I consider that the Angels should be the most powerful, followed by Devils. Titans should be up there with their main advesaries Black Dragons.

The thread has wandered little from the original subject and I would say that Academy in overall will probably do fine. They got ranged troops and certainly the tanks to protect them just like in earlier games. Add to the mix their special abilities and I wouldn't worry too much.

I'm concerned about Dungeon though. It's not only the units but also because of the spells, special abilities and skills. Looks like that every Dungeon unit is dangerous and when you look other factions there are units that seem to be lacking in efficiency.

However it's too early to tell because it often comes to the fact what kind of map is played and how long game is going on. I'm still yet to find a weakness in Dungeon unless it's the possibility of difficulty during the beginning of the game.

I wouldn't be worried about Academy I think they hardly have weak point unless it's the cost of units. Example just look how ridiculous Spectre Dragon and Zombies are as units for Necropolis. They are simply disgrace.

In overall the factions could be well balanced and thing is that we would never find clear cut decision how each unit should be so all would feel satisfied in their mind. Personally I think the basic rule should be that all the units are somehow useful and there are some that look quite useless in overall when compared to Dungeon which seems to have all bases covered.

Nobody will ever be totally satisfied whatever happens.

I think it's fine that they've scaled down Archangels a bit. They've got the extreeeeemly powerfull resurection ability, so it's fine by me that they are not quite so good fightning units.

Also, in the current game, I think the over-power problem of Dungeon is not so much the Black Dragon, but all the other units.

We should not forget that not only that the Dungeoun units are more powerfull then most others on their levels, Dungeoun also has the ekemental chain ability that makes it do even more damage with both units and spells. And let's not forget that the Dungeoun is very powerfull with magic as it god many powerfull distructive spells (distructive spells are their specialty in magic). Besides, the Dungeoun units are very diversed, thus it can handle any type of foe in any situation. Dungeoun has only one weakness: growth rate, but the power of it's units, their diversity and powerfull magic compensate for that.
