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

I haven't played with the Orcs yet.
I'll continue your reasoning about the Orcs...

Orcs aren't very strong on rush maps, although there are heroes who can rush – Tilseck, Haggeesh, but their strength lies in the late game! That's when the Orcs become truly insane... Huge damage (especially with Retribution, it's terrifying), Fury absorbs damage – that's where the fun begins... But, without that, they have a serious drawback. This is, of course, their vulnerability to magic (a good Necromancer can cast Berserk, and that's it... and there's nothing to remove it with :( and with such attack power, they'll hit so hard that...). They've added some countermeasures, but it doesn't help much (you can only guess the opponent's school in very rare cases). This race is one of the strongest. Fury is a huge bonus. If you manage to get the Education skill (where attack and defense are mainly improved, and that's just brutal), and get the Fire of Fury perk, you start the battle already at level 1, and that's very good... Many units have increased initiative, speed, etc. In general, you can see that the Orcs have a good division between attack and defense: you take the warriors who are armored if you plan to defend. You take the ones with bright skin and almost no armor if you're playing a brutal attack.

I quite like this Castle, I would rank them as the second strongest, of course, after the Elves.
