Harpy Hags are not too difficult to fight. There are 2 clever ways to beat them with minimal loses, or no casualties whatsoever. First is with powerstack and a stack of shooters. They will stand next to your shooters blockig them and you will finish them off with the powerstack.
The other option is with a single angel and balista. you need to place your angel away from hags, and 3 of the hags will jump right next to the balistta and stay there forever. So you wait and finish them with the angel.

Thanks for the tip. I know hags are not that difficult to fight, in fact I quite like using these tactical units. what annoys me is the way they fight, attack and flight back....attack and flight back.....

I've always dreaded Harpy Hags. They aren't exactly difficult to deal with, just extremely irritating. It's pretty cheap how they get that both strike and return as well as no enemy retaliation.
And I doubt anybody would feel irritated if I were to be the one using them. Geez.

They go to the balista if they can't hit anything else. Thats why you need very fast creature, who can escape them. With an Angel you could do that waiting first round and go in the corner in the second round. Than only 2-3 stacks from 7 stacks will hit you and the rest will go next to the balista. So essentialy you will fight 4 stacks from 7.

what's wrong with powerliches?
they only have 60 hp, and they aren't fast, nor are the rest of their stats overly good.
one hit and the whole stack dies.
the only redeeming factor of power liches is that they are undead (can't be blinded), thus making you use one of your stacks to deal with the power liches.

10 most annoying creatures IMO (in random order
1 Harpy Hags - especially when you have only slow creatures
And after killing last enemy's creature in battle, they return and you have to wait 3 sec more for post-battle screen 
2 Sharpshooters - f*ck them if they're faster than your fastest creature, always lot of damage
3 Dragonflies - in early weeks faster in the game (look at WoG Berserker Flies script...)
4 Vampire Lords - I don't have to explain, you all know why
OK I have to end I'll end my post later
EDIT:
5 Magogs - fireball attacks 3 creatures
6 Power Liches - mostly same as above
7 High Elves (or Grey Elves in another translation) - most annoying Rampart creature, shots two times
8 Enchanters - when they'll throw Haste or slow on first turn or when your enemy is Dracon
9 Wolf R(a)iders (those upgraded) - lots of damage in first attack, but forunately they have low hp
10 Imps - move really sloooow

Magogs - I mean, the deals damage to your units to. Even efreets and black dragons etc.
Sprites - THEY DIE, and they are only good when many.
Phoenixes - Totally unbalanced. And so are the Storm Elemental. Psychics are VERY good to, but slow.

o_O
i remembered it as 60 from RoE.
It's either changed in AB and SoD or my memory isn't as good as I thought it was, probably the latter lol.
Sprites are good! V. V. good. The no-retal along with high speed makes flux quite imba at the beginning...
Agree with magogs. I never upgrade them. Otherwise i use them for fodder or for demons.
I also agree phoenixes are imba. Psychic elementals can be upgraded to magic elementals, which aren't slow at all considering how good they are. (naga queens are the slow ones...)
Flux overall isn't as imbalanced as people make it out to be. You only have 5 usable units out of 7. Maybe 4, because in the end sprites last 1 round at the most.

Hi, sorry for a new topic if it has already been made, but I was thinking, some of the creatures in HoMM III are truly just ANNOYING. I was wondering if anyone is thinking along the same lines. So please vote on this poll, here is why I think these creatures are annoying:
Golems - pretty large numbers, great Def. and Hp stats, practically magic-proof... basically these guys are INDESTRUCTIBLE.
Dragonflies - they always seem to start first, so they keep flying over to you and weakening half your army before you can even attack them. Speaking of which they have a good Hp stat, so they're hard to kill especially with Weakness on you.
Pheonixes - They're basically as good as Archdevils, only with twice as many of them, and immunity to good spells like Meteor Shower and Armageddon. And they keep rebirthing to boot!!
Black Dragons - They have loads of life and Speed, and they are just really hard to kill. Totally magic-immune, so you'll just have to fight them in melee... which isn't really an option if you're the kind of guy who wants to have a good-sized army after a battle.
Titans - Have you ever fought 28 titans? Total pain in the butt. They just keep killing you regardless of whether you're close or far away. They have a good Speed too so they can get into the thick of the battle after their shots are gone. And Blind and Hypnotize *trumpet plays 20th Century Fox*, the masters of making people work for you... DON'T WORK. *trumpet stops*
Imps - just kidding...
Oh by the way you guys can submit your own creatures too, like Demons or something. I've had problems with them in the past...
I think the dragon of their strength

Magic Elementals!!!
I'm surprised no one has mentioned them yet.
Obviously you can't use magic against them, and then to make things worse they attack all adjacent creatures when you try to gang up on them which you are often forced to do since you can't use magic. They are quite fast too.
