Default I have a question about Satyrs

ok, been looking at Pangaea (i have not been able to play for a several weeks...), but anyways, i have been looking at Pangaea....and i have noticed something that has me confused....

Satyrs 1, 2, and 3....

They all 3 cost 10 gold, #2 and #3 both cost 3 resources, #1 costs only 2. They all three have the same hitpoints. #1 and #2 both have 0 protection, whereas #3 has protection of 2. Moral is the same across all three (8), Magic Resistance the same (13). Encumbrance is the same (3), strength is the same (11), Attack is the same (10), Defense is the same in #1 and #2 (12), #3 has Defense of 13. Same precision (10) for all 3 of them. They all have three have stealth and forest survival. The weapons are different though, #1 only has a spear. #2 has spear AND a javelin (i understand, for range), and #3 has spear AND buckler....

Ok, I can see the reason for maybe using Satyr #2 for a range attack (but really, why would you use this? I don't really see the purpose, unless you really have to way to get any type of archers, and the Centaurs (w/ Longbow) are just too expensive...I guess that could be a reason why?).

I can see the purpose in getting Satyr #3....if only for the buckler, giving it two points more protection and 1 point better defense.

Now, what is the purpose of using Satyr #1? Would your resources be that bad that you simply cannot afford 3 resources, so you have to drop to the 2 resource unit? Satyr #1 has nothing on the other 2 Satyrs EXCEPT for resources....everything else is either the same or worse....

So, what circumstances would a player recruit Satyrs #1?

Just wondering, that's all
