Cerberus
I'd think cursing attack is too much, the cerberi don't need buffing. Maybe -1 min damage or initiative to the firebreathers? It's really a fine line, firebreath is not easy to balance.
Agreed. It's hard to balance it, but as it is it's no good.


Nightmare and Hell Stalion
Yes but -3 morale aura can be really good. Unless the map is loaded with artifacts and opponent ends up having 7 morale..
Well, as the aura affects only creatures adjacent to the Nightmare, it's a hit or miss thing. The unit will hardly ever lose its turn over this, as most armies start with 3 morale, and after that it can kill the nightmare(they're not what I would call durable) or move away so that the penalty is lost. The Hell Stalion otoh, is much better, as with its high init it can cripple the enemy first, and when his turn comes up, the remains die from the searing aura.

Pit Lord
Not weak but not on par with pit spawns. I'd give them back their HoF mana or boost initiative. +1 speed could also work.
+1 speed, +1 init +10 mana would it do?

Arch Demon
Seriously their stats sabotage their abilty, bad planning. Yes teleport other is good but not a justification for this. +1 speed.
Totaly Agree. On a side note, devils have a handicap in speed, it should be buffed alltogether.

Spectre
Mana stealing does compensate because in large battles you are better off shooting, not casting.
In a big battle, stealing 10 mana and reviving 10 specters is not that great anyway...

Banshee
I'd go for boosted special. Their wail is great fun but totally useless at the moment.
It can work

Sprite
Yes but they also have cleansing. Big deal, use those early, dryads later. They are not useless as others.
I guess you're right. I find myself using them early game and retraining them later, so they fine.

Blood Witch
True but on the other hand they are harder to kill.
For midgame figths yes, but as early and mid, you use furies to creep, there's a weak chance, you'll go back to retrain them. End game they just die from one hit, both.

Brisk Raider
His special should be 50% and even then I would not pick him too often.
Hard to mod this guy. Maybe an extra point in init or some more defense?

Shadow Matriarch
Not worthless at all. If they play first they can hit hunters badly.
Yes. But she won't act before Arcane Archers. And even if she does, a Confusion from, the Mistress can be same as good.

Battle Mage
Nope, just better for later.
Ok

Titan and Storm Titan
Actually it's a decent choice. Hasted, fast units act more often in the cloud so it hurts more than lightning overall. If the units do get out they have wasted a turn and you don't care because it's the wizard who does most.
Well, who uses those specials anyway? They're better off attacking, and they have exactly the same stats.

Stone Defenders
I don't see why they are bad.
Because the moment you moved them they become much weaker than the others. Giving them Take Roots would make them defensive and mobile at the same time.

Rune Priest/Patriarchs
Absolutely not. The choice of firewall or two fireballs makes a difference.
ok. I don't use them much anyway.

Lava Dragon
No they are pretty viable.
Like when?
