By the way, my last game in Might and Magic VI showed that the talk about this template being well-balanced is nonsense; as usual, everything comes down to rushing Dragon Utopia.
How can you judge based on just one game (or two, three)? You need to play at least 20-30 games. (Although I remember when you first came to the forum, you also said that this was a terrible template, what's the point of having a General if you don't even have to fight it, but instead go to your opponent through the secondary group of vampires, for example?)
Second. I am not an expert in Might and Magic VI; I only posted a scheme for others. You cannot judge by my game or draw any conclusions. Although, I can still describe some differences: in CM, you either go to your opponent through the General/secondary group or to the treasure zone. That's all! There are no other options at all. Here, despite me losing on the second week, there is somewhere to roam around, explore in the hope of finding something good. Although the map turned out to be surprisingly disappointing. If you come to me early, I would at least have somewhere to retreat to and get a chance to recover; this is not possible in CM. If things went wrong or you messed up yourself (i.e., lost), write GG right away.
As for the game itself, I already realized that I made a mistake and didn't take Wisdom. I should have taken it and built/rebuilt the tower. Then I would have had a decent chance with magic. (By the way, does anyone ever think about building a level 4-5 tower in CM? Everything is much simpler there: destroy Dragon Utopia, kill the General, and done. Or come and kill them through the secondary group.) But here, there are more possibilities for how events can unfold. Like in chess, you can move knights, bishops, whatever you want. But CM is like checkers. It's also a game, but not at the same level.
And that's why I enjoy Might and Magic VI. I play for fun, for pleasure.
But overall, I am glad that my game caused such a reaction. It was quite interesting -)
За то что нейтралы не бегают за единичкой, для меня это уже стоит того
