Words from a newly registered user on the Heroes5.net.ru forum, ugh, I mean Heroesworld:)
If the Barbarians are so strong, then why are there far fewer people playing as them compared to the Necromancers:confused:?

The foundation of the forum is the game; you can just come to the forum, but at the same time, you can play Heroes almost since its inception and help many people, but I see you don't know what you're talking about. Everyone is good at chatting on forums; I'm not chasing status here; I'm looking for people to play Heroes III with at a time and with requirements that suit me. So, for example, do you want to fight? I'll take the Behemoths, although I don't particularly like them because of the 3rd tier of mages; this is probably their only significant drawback.

Because not everyone thinks so! And people like the Undead because they think it's the strongest...

No, no one thinks it's strong; with the tournament patch, the Necromancers are no longer as formidable as they were before:)
In Heroes III, it's one of the most expensive castles, both in terms of buildings and units. Moreover, their weekly growth deals the least amount of damage out of all the castles
