In Heroes of Might and Magic 5, it’s a pity for the mages. :( It’s also a pity for the weakened titan with fewer hit points, and for the ruined gargoyle, which is also slow and flies awkwardly. The mage takes a very long time to cast spells. The Academy in Heroes 5 turned out to be very undynamic. The overall initiative of all creatures is the lowest of all factions. And the racial abilities of the heroes are not very useful either. In general, the Academy in Heroes 5 is absolutely no comparison to the Academy in Heroes 3, even though the creatures are all the same.
