Quicksand can be a useful spell if you know, that enemy hero's army is fighting in non native terrain. Specially in sieges, when enemy may have only few places to enter castle walls, a succesfully placed quicsand pit is most valuable. Also, in wandering creature stack in can be useful, because AI alwasy attacks troops if they are within range. Moving the fastest unit behind a quicksand pit makes enemy troops try to attack it and causes them to spent their movement, which gives you more time to shoot down the enemy with your ranged troops. | |||
