For me, it's all about the specializations and skills (and without a hit parade – they belong to different races). Swamp - Bron (basilisks are great at the start!) Castle - Sir Mullich (+2 speed – cool, but not given at the beginning), Adela (banned in the multiplayer – diplomat), and Caitlin (+350 gold, intelligence). Barbarian - Jabarakas (orcs) and Dessa (logistics). Necropolis - Isra, definitely (necromancy + Magic Arrow in the spellbook). Elves - Ivor (elves) and Elassar (intelligence). Inferno - if you're unlucky with the random selection, then Fiona (dogs right away, and she has a nicer face), but in general, Inferno is a mess! Magic - Kira (banned in the multiplayer – diplomat) and Aine (literacy + 350 gold). I really hate Piguegram – his specialization in harpies, in my opinion, is on par with specializations in zombies, mysticism, eagle eye, and navigation on a map without water, and Sylvie – you can tell by her face – she's a DUMMY! Dungeon - Alamar and Zheddit (resurrection forever). -------------------------------- In Conflux, everything is too overpowered! PS Katrine, I didn't quite understand – is Aine the one I have, or someone else?
