Plan melee pressure around reach and the creature’s own morale trait. A bonus action matters only with a target and space to use it.
Watch for: Minotaurs do not automatically grant the same morale bonus to the whole army. Do not assume a bonus action is guaranteed.
Timing, specific abilities and the follow-up plan
Speed 8 affects reach and order. Before Wait compare who still acts this round and who opens the next; delaying does not create a free extra attack.
Own minimum morale: The Minotaur keeps its own morale at least +1. This does not grant an angel-style morale bonus to the entire army.
Example for 10 creatures: 120–200 base damage for one ordinary hit before hero, defense, spell and ability modifiers. Recalculate surviving creatures before a subsequent hit.
This compares recruitment prices and base parameters, rather than final damage or an automatic price for a particular map upgrade.

Normal upgrade of the specialty line (1)
The normal upgrade belongs to the same specialty line in the pinned VCMI reference. Gelu’s and Dracon’s special conversions are separate from its normal upgrades.
These values multiply every resource in the undiscounted reference price and full base health. Hero, equipment, spell, price and growth modifiers are excluded. This is neither final damage or battle survival nor a guarantee that the listed number is available to recruit.

Reading this profile correctly
This profile uses Complete/SoD and the cited VCMI reference. HotA, WoG and other mod changes are not added. Body footprint and attack reach are separate properties.
Base growth excludes Citadel, Castle, external dwellings and other bonuses. AI value supports army generation and evaluation; it is neither a price nor experience. Ranged and melee penalties, immunity, resistance chance and spell-damage reduction are distinct effects. Neutral dragons can have higher editor levels than some internal rules use. Campaign scripts can alter ordinary recruitment.
141 Heroes III Complete / The Shadow of Death creatures: 126 town forms across nine factions and 15 neutrals. The Heroes 3 Wiki stat table is pinned to revision 194544; HotA branches and balance changes are removed. Abilities additionally identify the pinned VCMI reference; its internal identifiers are not blindly used as game names. War machines, siege towers and random editor placeholders are outside this creature count. Growth is the base weekly figure; costs are per creature and stats exclude hero, town and spell bonuses.
