A good tactic is to not recruit them. An even better one, if you're playing with a [[Necropolis]] army and hero, is to bring them to town and transform them into [[skeletons]] in the [[Skeleton Transformer]] (in {{hota}}, they can also be brought to a [[Skeleton Transformer (HotA)|Skeleton Transformer]] found on the adventure map if it's present), which has multiplied stats compared to the peasant. | A good tactic is to not recruit them.

Peasants were added in {{ab}} so there are no Peasants or [[Hovel]]s in {{roe}}. | |||
== Trivia == | |||
In the former Heroes of Might and Magic games, the peasant was the first tier unit for the [[Castle]] equivalent faction, Farm in the first game and Knight in the second. They were both just as weak as the peasant found in Heroes of Might and Magic 3, though, all stats being 1. | |||
