Which faction’s city do you like the most?

What I really liked about Heroes of Might and Magic V, right from the start, was the huge scale of the cities. The view of the cities is truly impressive. For example, Necropolis is a very, very tall structure, and the city of humans really looks like a large medieval city, with many peasant houses also adding to the view (I think everyone has noticed that other cities have similar peasant houses). Each one looks very interesting, and the style is consistently maintained at 100%. Of course, if it weren't for the 3D graphics, such a spectacle wouldn't be possible, but nevertheless, praise and thanks to the designers at Nival, they earn their keep :) The concept for the Dwarf city is also quite original. The camera in the game has been adjusted, and now you can manually look into the "hole" (I don't think there was such an option before). I already wrote about the Orcs in another thread, so I won't repeat myself). And in my opinion, the most beautiful cities are those of the Academy and the Sylvan faction. They are simply beautifully designed, and I am less inclined towards the dark colors of Necropolis or Stronghold.
O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
