In your opinion, which faction is the strongest in Heroes 5? Let's discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each faction.

Haven and Necromancer! In my opinion, their strength is roughly equal – it all depends on the players' skill level; with equal skill, a single mistake can decide EVERYTHING! The Elves are strong, but few in number and very dependent on magic. The Sylvans are fast and strong, but they don't hold up well in combat (except for the Ents, of course). Orcs are my favorite race. They are PURE POWER!!! but VERY vulnerable to Dark magic. Demons are not bad; they often leave their opponents with no mana at all, but in my opinion, they lack raw power. Wizards have great mini-arts, strong magic, and a huge amount of mana, but (don't be offended, Wizards fans; maybe I just don't know how to play this race) I don't like their army at all. Dwarves – runes, runes, and more runes, plus they are quite sturdy. Initiative – terrible, attack – awful, speed – bad. Everything depends on runes.
