The essence of the tactics when playing as the Dark Elves.

I played Heroes of Might and Magic III for 10 years, and not only did I play it, but mapmaking was also very easy and interesting there, especially because my computer didn't allow me to do more. And with the release of Heroes of Might and Magic V, new technologies also appeared in my home along with the internet :D... But despite my eternal love for the third part, the fifth one is, in my opinion, much better in terms of gameplay!!! More complex doesn't mean difficult, it means more interesting!
Regarding Orcs and the Town Portal: I always take two magic skills... it's just hard to guess which magic skill the Town Portal will take... the worst thing is if you're playing as an Orc and you take Anti-Chaos, and the Town Portal levels up Dark Magic and Summoning... that's a trap....
