Alternative of the week
October 30
Now that we have TOTE i thought for fun id make a thread like this.
The idea of the thread is to choose a creature that outpreforms its alternative in a certain way awesomely.
This can range from anything to percise shot killing hundreds of tier 7 units to summon demon giving you the advantage to rhakasha khasataris winning you the battle.
The basic idea (again) is that in a certain situation you had it beats the hell out of the other upgrade. Not neccasarily just plain "better" Just awesome for that situation you had it in.
Theres 3 catagories but you dont have to vote in all of them
Offensive alternative- One that is clearly the better attacker, it deals massive damage or creates a heavy advantage for attacking
Defensive alternative- One that can last a long time or creates a very beneficial effect for defense.
Balanced or helpful alternative- One that can give an effect that will help you win the battle. like the spectral dragons morale reducing thing, or the harpooners attack. Or balanced as in good in attack and defense both.
At the end of each week maybe me (Or someone else if it seems im not around for some reason) can calculate what scores for each alternative there is.
1 point- just saying what alternative you like best
2 points- Citing a reason why you like it more and giving an example
3 points- supplying a replay or really good screenshot.
as an unofficial vote ill choose mine
Offensive alternative- Rhalasha khatari(well if its spelled properly) A definate demon in battle this unit is large unlike the cerberus giving it a much larger scope of attack and power! definatly a good unit
Defensive alternative- Warmonger. With level 2 blood rage this unit can retaliate against everything. and with naturally high defense and attack if your hero is level 20 or so with expert blood rage and a few boosters, as long as theres no shooters you can just spam word of the cheif on it and it can kill many walker creeps!
Balanced/utility alternative- Archangel Awesome unit to have for ressurection, good for creeping and making sure your tough stacks when focused on can come back into the fight!
I hope this thread keeps going for a while at least! and i hope your interested in this kind of thing.
Also you can post a new alternative you like every day. But can only re-vote for the same alternative next week.

My offensive alternative of the week is Druid Elder! With their Lightning Bolt and Stone Spikes they can fight creatures regardless of their level with same efficiency! There is no hiding, no escape for the unfortunate ones that Druids pick as their targets. The offense remains the same even at great distances, like behind fully built castle walls. And it remains the same even at the enemy who has engaged the Druids in melee.
My defensive alternative of the week is Battle Griffin! They are nearly 80% more durable than Imperial Griffins and their abilities Battle Frenzy and Unlimited Retaliation make these birds tough to take down without shooters. The Knights Counterstrike ability further makes these ideal creatures for Haven defense setup.
My utility alternative of the week is Succubus Seducer! They will turn the tides of a battle if they succeed in their art of seduction. You can take a creature like Rune Patriarch and cast a Firewall in the midst of their own troops, or you can take Unicorns and wipe those nasty Arcane Archers who are positioned next to them, or you can simply make a creature from their own army to soak up the retaliation from a powerstack of theirs, after which you can gang up on them without a fear! If you succeed in this against Paladins for example, Succubus Seducers have done even more than their share in the battle!

My Offensive would be the firebreathers in a early charge into tightly packed enemy ranks with high luck the battle is practilly over.
My defensive would be the Skeleton warriors with enough these can become a very nasty stack with various defenses against spells and ranged attacks.
My overall would the Vermin they get better stats like speed and higher damage range., plus siphon mana with pitlords in a siege the meteor never stop falling.

MY favourite defencive unit is the Warmonger these guys are so cool I mean when i play them the Taunt kicks about 90% of the times(just place them near the Centaurs).The Fierce retaliation with the Unlimited retal.(from the rage) and the +12 defence WOW . NEXT my favourite ovensive unit is the HELL STALLION and NIGHTMARE.Just rush them at the croud nice fire damage to all or reduction of morale by 3 + FEAR.In almost all battles the fight begins with these guys.And if they die raise them as Pit Lords with the Arch Devils. My OVERALL are my FAVOURITE creatures the BLOODEYED CYCLOP and the neutral DEATH KNIGHT their both the most AWESOME creatures in the game for me

Anyone else care to vote?
Heres mine (though mine do not actually count as such)
Offensive- The Thlane better known as the flame lord.
Nasty random radius, Really nasty. It can do massive damage no matter how your opponent sticks his units! it can penetrate the best formation and better protected things, With luck which can be its downfall
Defensive- Deep hydra- Powerful and strong, Tough and awesome these guys are perfect for dungeon and its casting . They have way too much health and arent that expensive for the amount of hit points they provide. Great stuff!
Balanced/utility- The vindicator! The balance between defense as its hard to shoot it down, But with offensive capabilities, While it may be more of an offensive upgrade as haven is naturally defensive it can serve both purposed well. Really nice to have backing you
And remember that a unit can fit in more then one catagory. Id say some consider the pit spawn defnsive and some offense and some a mix. Up to you to choose!

Is no one interested in this thread?
My defensive for today would be the marksmen!(yes the genralyl offensive marksmen) because most people would not dare charge you if you have them nearby!

Defensive has
Skeleton warriros 2 votes- (3 points)
Warmongers 2 votes (3 points)
Anyone else want to vote?
And marksmen are alternatives for me because I sorta meant upgrade of the week. But i thought alternative would sound better since it has to totally outclass the other upgrade in some way.
Theyre both technically alternate to each other i think.

What I meant was without rune of charge you sort of hang back until the enemy is in range then go for a paw strike and beserking. With the rune you can charge right away.
