'''Imbalance''' is a feature of game when something (hero, creature, faction, spell, etc.) delivers strong advantage (overpowered) against analogues of its tier, or strong disadvantage. In tournaments players of same skill are expected to have equal chances of victory regardless of random effects, so this presents a problem. | '''Imbalance''' is a feature of game when something (hero, creature, faction, spell, etc.) delivers strong advantage (overpowered) against analogues of its tier, or strong disadvantage.

Please note that ''imbalanced'' units doesn't always mean ''strong'' units. For example, [[Vampire and Vampire Lord|Vampire Lords]] are weaker than [[Unicorn and War Unicorn|Unicorns and War Unicorns]], being two levels down. However, the latter are not the strongest 6th level unit. Their [[blind]]ing ability is not unique (as some other units have [[petrifying attack|petrification]] which works in a similar way), the chance they will use their abilities is not 100%, and neither blinding nor aura | Please note that ''imbalanced'' units doesn't always mean ''strong'' units.

As opposed to them, [[life drain]] works always unless there is a unit immune to it (e. g. other [[undead]] creatures), and it can increase dramatically the chance of winning a battle, lowering the casualities. Unicorns are strong, rather fast, and very mighty in a battle, but there are some other units which can be used in a similar way, while there is no one like Vampire Lords. | ||
Some units aren't very powerful but have great abilities. For example, [[Harpy and Harpy Hag|Harpy Hags]] and [[Wolf Rider and Wolf Raider|Wolf Raiders]] are not strong themselves, as they are only 2nd level units and thus have low stats, but their abilities (respectively, to attack without retaliation and to come back, and to strike twice) make them a formidable force and are extremely helpful to the entire army. | Some units aren't very powerful but have great abilities.
