Archmage rules! He knows many spells and has an extra +20%. By the way, to upgrade to him you only need two types of magic at the second circle:) And those can be obtained quickly
I think you are wrong here and an archmage requires at least three types of magic. Otherwise, it's inconsistent with the classes, as usually the combination of TWO different types of magic gives an advanced class (for example, Heretic – life and chaos magic), while an archmage is an "archi" precisely because he knows three or more types of magic. But this rule applies in the standard versions. I don't know how it is in Equi, maybe it's different.

What I like about small maps is that the enemy can jump out of the fog at any moment and then......uuuuuu:D The game creates tension.... and you have to risk it to take down the monsters near the university and even pay a fair amount of gold...:D not very versatile
Fully agree! On small maps you can't really build up even if you're playing against the AI and aren't afraid of a rush. And if you play against a human, the constant need to defend the castle makes development even more problematic, but that's also what's interesting—the constant tension, the adrenaline. Every turn is all-in on gold! One small mistake in development and that's it. And the nuances and characteristics of each race are also better revealed. You value every unit, not just level 4, but even level 3, in battles with neutrals.

That's why I always enjoy playing longer. And it's not wasting time, it's pleasure. Growing a cool guy from a weakling, that's where the taste is. I'm glad there are people who understand me. Rather than chasing a quick victory! :)
I completely agree with you, lovely Pandora, but when you play specifically to get points, that is, for the reward in the form of CD at the end of the game, then a quick victory is exactly what's important, since time plays a major role here (besides hero development, gold, castles, and other criteria). And if you play for the aesthetics of hero leveling, then the best way is to play Campaigns rather than scenarios. The plot there provides a lot of enjoyment. You watch and rejoice as your hero grows, comparing parameters in, say, the first and last missions. I recently completed the Alvin campaign in the original Heroes, and it was a sea of pleasure. It's the most interesting and romantic storyline in the originals! Through all the tribulations, love wins in the end!))
P.S. Although I played this campaign to get CD, meaning for speed, not for hero leveling.)) But Alvin turned out to be impressive.

Order is many times better than Nature, I used to play Nature at first too, but after understanding their weaknesses, I switched to Order
That Order is stronger than Nature, I've known since the first days of playing and it wasn't hard to realize. It's just that, on one hand, I like Nature as a race (the building for producing phoenixes in the Nature castle looks very beautiful, IMHO, it's the most beautiful of all structures), and on the other hand, I'm not interested in playing Order, as it's easier to play and develop, and beginners usually love playing it. This applies primarily to the original Heroes, but I think it hasn't changed much in Equi. As people play and their skill level increases, they move to other races. Not only Nature has weaknesses, but Order does too, it's just that Order's are less noticeable and harder to exploit. Therefore, for me personally, playing Order and Death (although since Necromancy was weakened in Equi, Death to a lesser extent) is less interesting than Nature or Life, for example. So my love for Nature doesn't depend on it being less powerful than Order; I'm simply learning (I'd even dare say I know how) to use its strengths against any other races, including Order. I play Nature for aesthetic reasons, although of course I understand that a strong player playing Order against me playing Nature will most likely beat me.))
"I switched to Order" - You're like my friend who, whenever given a choice, plays Heroes 4 only with the strongest races. I have always preferred Nature (Rampart, Sylvan) regardless of the strength of that castle in different Heroes games.

Don't say Order is cooler here :p I'm the inexperienced one, a more experienced person will tear Order apart with Nature :p Balance, you see ;)
Exactly! I've torn them apart more than once. I'll install Equi soon and clash again)).

Hero A casts "Anti-Magic" on himself. On the next turn, Hero A summons a Devil (about 9 devils).
Hero A will not be able to summon devils, as anti-magic will prevent any spells. Casting anti-magic in this case is a losing move. Why does everyone talk about using anti-magic on a druid or chaos hero in these battles? Because after anti-magic is cast, they won't last very long, they'll only be able to fight in melee. Anti-magic is only effective on creatures.
