| :And lastly, that Gurnisson example is actually quite interesting fact. However, in your text I got an impression that yous should specifically use Gurnisson as a main hero, which raised and question why not use Christian as a secondary hero – if you got my meaning? :) –[[User:Kapteeni Ruoska|Kapteeni Ruoska]] 14:39, 4 July 2014 (CEST) | | :And lastly, that Gurnisson example is actually quite interesting fact.

| ::Thanks for your thoughts! All valid points, I think, and I even made a graph already! I'll upload it with explanation and some revisions later on when I have more time, after which you are more than welcome to comment of course :-).

| ::::Great, and thanks for the help with the layout! These are the exact changes I had hoped to make, but did not manage to :-). This includes putting the caption outside the graph, so I'll try to revert back to the original graph without internal caption, so there is no double caption anymore. -[[User:Entelechy|Entelechy]] 09:20, 7 July 2014 (CEST)

| | '''Explanation''': Imagine that on Week 1 Day 2 you have a [[ballista]] and 12 [[Grand Elf|Grand Elves]] (7 from your town and 5 from your heroes). If your hero has 5 [[attack]], would his army deal more damage with Advanced Artillery (e.g., a level 2 [[Gurnisson]]) or with Advanced [[Archery]] (e.g., a level 2 [[Jabarkas]])? Figure 1 shows that in this case you need at least 17 [[Grand Elf|Grand Elves]] for Advanced [[Archery]] to do more damage than Advanced Artillery on [[grass]] (see I). With only 12 [[Grand Elf|Grand Elves]] and a [[ballista]], Advanced Artillery may in this stage therefore help you most to advance your hero and kingdom. However, imagine that on Week 2 Day 1, you buy 19 extra [[Grand Elf|Grand Elves]] (14 from your town and 5 from a tavern hero) and that your hero, after gaining some levels, now has an [[attack]] of 9. Would this hero with an army of 31 [[Grand Elf|Grand Elves]] and a [[ballista]] benefit more from Expert Artillery or Expert [[Archery]]? Figure 1 shows that because this hero has more than 16 [[Grand Elf|Grand Elves]], Expert [[Archery]] is the better choice here (see II). This demonstrates that later on in most games Artillery rapidly becomes less useful than [[Archery]] (or [[Offense]]), An exception may be maps on impossible difficulty with insufficient money to recruit extra troops, which allows heroes with Artillery to gain and possibly maintain a notable advantage.

| '''Note''': The Figure is also valid for armies with other ranged units than Grand Elves (e.g., 7 [[Grand Elf|Grand Elves]] on [[grass]] equal 8 [[Medusa]]s on [[subterranean]]). Special circumstances such as [[morale]], [[hero specialty|hero specialties]], archery artifacts, [[spell]]s and ranged units getting killed or blocked during battle are not factored in.
