The weakest castle in Heroes of Might and Magic IV!

Death is the weakest Castle. These demons and skeletons are torn apart incredibly quickly. At least Life has archers among its weak creatures. Cerberi and ghosts also don't inspire much respect. Vampires are only useful when there are a lot of them. But at the beginning, everyone kills them easily, and their much-vaunted ability to drain life only allows them to keep a couple of individuals alive until the end of the battle (if it was going in the player's favor, of course). The spitting creatures are effective, but quite expensive, and besides, they are Death's only ranged unit. Devils and dragons are noticeably weaker than other powerful creatures. Well, except that the terror of dragons can sometimes be useful.

Death magic is a nightmare. It's just curses and debuffs that you can't really make work. When playing as a Necromancer, I abandoned Death magic and focused on Order magic first. There's much more benefit from it.
