Heroes 6 - Discussion

What, was there no Battle of Agincourt in Earth's history?
And yet, the French cavalry was thoroughly defeated at that time precisely due to the skillful use of archers...

Once a year, even a blind pig finds an acorn. You understand that citing a single battle out of thousands, especially under such circumstances, is incorrect and does not affect the statistics. Also, remember Vasya from 7B, who pinned a single stack of hippos to the edge of the map with a force field and shot them down.

Regarding tactics

Typical archer tactic. It is very easily countered; just hit a small group of warriors with AoE abilities. And even more elegantly – blind, teleport, air shield, or dispel – there are many options. And that's how your fragile "fighters" got wrecked. The money spent on buying archer upgrades was not worth it.

Here's a video proving the indispensability of archers in a battle with neutrals!

Yes, the video shows good uses for an overpowered hero with a full set of artifacts and many useful spells in his spellbook, a great hero for munchkin-style gameplay in the campaign.
