LBE – minimal balance changes for Heroes V 3.1.

Hmm. In my HotS game, by week two, I have 10 vampires + ghosts, skeletons, zombies, and possibly liches. How can I defeat a Dungeon faction with such an army and a hero of level 3-7?

What about dark energy?
Back in 2008, there were tons of replays of successful pushes available on various resources. Luckily, I saw and repeated them.
On the same Outlands map (Outlands, a standard map), the level is already 12+ by week two.

You can take Orson, level up Battle Discipline, Mark, and use dark energy to only recruit vampires.
Huddle a stack of vampires in a corner so that only one dragon can get through. Raise Dead + Battle Discipline + Curse + Mark will have an amazing effect.

But we've strayed a bit from the topic. Without Battle Discipline, it will be harder for the vampires, and the uber stack will be later. But the fact that it will be an uber stack for pushing against living units is undeniable.
