Chaos is UP Why?
Crawler and swordwrath, swordwrath win while there JUST 25 more gold. It would take 3 crawlers to kill 1 swordwrath.
Ranged units: Deads and archers. dead will win but they cost mana which you don't have in early game
first spellcasters: Marrowkai and magikill: magikill is better
Second spellcasters: meric and medusa, medusa better
tank units: spearton, juggernight. Same
Special units: bomber, shadowrath. Bombers are useless if opponent separate. Shadowrath is a good killing machine against chaos.
Flying units: eclipsor is faster, and cheaper but albow is stronger.
OVERALL: chaos is WAY UP on short maps in beginning but tied in middle: Long: Chaos is a little up. Medium: chaos is reasonably up
I wanna say Order and chaos are not comparable, their units go different role
merics cannot compare with marrowkais/medusas cuz they are for HEALING, not for killing
and magikills are for AOE damage while chaos mages are for single-hit spells
so they aren't comparable
I give you an example, can you compare who is more hardworking?
A lumberjack cut 100 wood
A miner mined 10g Gold
Also, in my opinion, chaos is a bit op on long map like grass hill and a bit up in short map like castle
