It's not a big problem, but Medusas still might want to be buffed, as they are rather slow, often forced into melee due to low amount of shots and lack of [[Ammo Cart]], and generally weaker than [[Swordsman and Crusader|Crusaders]] and [[Vampire and Vampire Lord|Vampire Lords]]. | ||
* | * Overlords cannot learn [[Water Magic]], therefore being unable to cast Bless on the entire army, while many Dungeon units have significant damage range (especially Harpies and Minotaurs). | ||
