66 actual Heroes II creatures including upgrades and neutrals. Values and abilities follow the pinned fheroes2 revision; random editor placeholders are excluded. Prices are per creature, growth is the base weekly value, and combat stats exclude hero, artifact and spell bonuses.
Resource costs are part of recruitment. For an entire stack, multiply every component, not just gold. Base growth excludes additional town, map and hero bonuses. Zero shots means no regular ranged attack; the creature can still have spells or other active abilities.
