- Tactics skill in Heroes 3.

Even in battles against neutral creatures in the first or second week, or later in the game, how much easier it is, and how much fewer losses there are. For example, you need to leave the starting area at the beginning of the first week, and there are either archers or yellow flies (Pegasus group). Honestly, who will suffer fewer losses: a tactical player or someone who doesn't use tactics? Even when playing as Humans, where you have a couple of Griffins to block the archers from the first turn.

Absolutely fair. Moreover, tactics serve as insurance against the morale of fast neutral creatures in the first round, especially with our powerful archer stack, although not only. For example, if a clearly not very scary stack of upgraded wolves in the first round gets morale and attacks, blocking our Goblins, it can be very unpleasant! Because losing 2-3 Golems that came with the hero is one thing, and losing a couple of dozen archers, which are the main offensive force, is quite another...
Also, I should note that with expert archery, the damage dealt by upgraded Elves and archers (second-level Humans) is about 5.4 times higher when shooting compared to melee combat. When attacking an Angel stack hiding in the grass, if they get morale in the first round and attack the archers, you can be completely wiped out:(((
