Which faction is the most interesting to play as, and what strategy do you find most engaging?

and even better – Growth, Knowledge, or even Luck, Wisdom. Isn't that right?

The sworn enemy and a rain of arrows provide a good effect not only when leveling up in Chaos, but also when there is a lot of mana. Of course, it is gained by the Ranger, but there have been times when, after one, or a maximum of two rains of arrows, there was almost no mana left for anything. In general, it is really very difficult to use the racial ability of the Elves properly... it is not a fact that you will encounter the right creatures on the map before the battle... and you have to run to the Castle to find enemies... in general, it's a mess.

). And without their most valuable archers, the Wood Elves suddenly become powerless. Ents are generally unable to fight against creatures with high initiative and speed.

I wouldn't say that so categorically. Especially against creatures with high initiative, the Ent is very effective, especially if it is an Ancient Ent, and the enemy is foolish enough to attack it. Archers are a loss, but don't forget about the horses, the Imps, the Dragons, the Druids...

Hmm.

But why does it not burn? It just needs to be leveled up if you need a warrior and not a mage in the final stage.

It just so happens that the Warlock is a mage, not a warrior:) and as long as Kifre is leveling up Spellpower, he will continue to do so.
