And here is the Mighty Titan, the best shooter unit in the game
And the only one capable of competing against the best unit in the game, the Black Dragon
Titans are strong in every aspect: health, attack, defense, morale and speed

This is the Giant, the pre-evolution of the second most powerful unit in the game
Giants have high damage output, high health, and are immune to mind-affecting spells
But generally, it's preferable to wait until their evolution is available, which is truly impressive

And here's the evolution : the Archmage πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ
More attack, more defense, more speed, and he has 24 shots instead of 12 per battle !
Simply devastating πŸ”₯

Love the feet, we can absolutely understand the direction there pointing at
And I've always found that feet and hands express a lot about a character pose/movement/intentions

Great very tired pose, how come she's so exhausted ?

This is the Mage
Mages constantly study spells, only descending from their high ivory tower to go to the library or the Mages' Guild (and even then, only to study)

They are excellent shooters, although somewhat weak in resistance

The Roc is the Wizards' only flying unit and it's quite tanky
Big bird that takes up 2 hexagonal tiles on the battlefield
- I love them, and the enemy ranged units fear them -

Here's the evolution of the Iron Golem : The Steel Golem
Faster (or less slow πŸ˜…), more HP, and 2 more attack points
They are -very- tanky !

If it's very sunny, you can easily imagine them blinding enemy units with the sun's reflection on their shiny steel bodies

Tier 3 Unit: The Iron Golem
They're very slow but very tanky !
And what's more, they only take half damage from elemental spells
That's makes them good units for defending a siege

Yes it amzing to look at !
I'm often surprised by how players do the same things, even though you often hadn't thought of it yourself, but it makes perfect sense to them
Playtesting is so important

Tier 2 Unit: Boar !

In HoMM2, the hero's movement speed is reduced by the slowest unit accompanying them
Therefore, to explore and cover more distance in a single turn, one strategy is to have no slow creatures in a hero's army
Like only one boar for an scout hero

Let me introduce you to the next faction: The Wizards πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ
They are the professionals of magical knowledge
They often live in very far away and difficult-to-access regions
Here is their first unit, the Halflings

They live in stone caves or large burrows

Hey guys, before posting the next faction, I'd like to know which format you think is best for presenting each of the units ?
I'm wondering if the zoomed-in box detracts too much from readability and if the larger one makes the units too small... Any opinions ?
