Hypnosis killed the game - my opinion

[Saridu]

I'm running around the Elven Isles and there is little my Fire Rains+Hypnosis+Demon Portal cannot handle. My poor paladin was running scared through the same area because any fight he went into would have guarantee losses. (Even with phantom green dragons)

I suppose that's the major difference, hypnosis and portals and phantoms if you're that way inclined remove hits from your units.
