Heroes of Might and Magic II - Who has stronger magic here?

Описание: Heroes of Might and Magic II is a fantasy turn-based strategy game that takes place in the land of Enroth, a place of magic.
There is a multitude of creature types, from griffins to rocs, golems to pikemen, unicorns to hydras, and four different dragons.
Each castle type has six different creatures, from the weak to the strong.
Here we have a battle between our hero's army and the mages.
Mages are known for their strong magic rays with no distance penalty.
There are not many shooters in our army, so we need to get our units close to the mages quickly.
Luckily, there are other magicians in our army - the genies.
They are fast and strong, so they get to mages in no time.
Now it is time to compare who controls magic better.
