Well, guys, excuse me if this is for you: "Who would pay attention to such nonsense?" and "insignificant nuances," but I wash my hands of it; for me it's not like that at all, especially when it's presented as tutorial videos! :smile32:

And you, listen carefully now, you will never learn to play Heroes well as long as you think it's all nonsense, that basic things are insignificant and have nothing to do with it.
These are precisely the things that many need to learn from the start, rather than discovering that for Barbarian the goal is to build Behemoths in the first week, or did you think the goal is to slot in Cyclopes, or upgrade Ogres on the first!? :)
And in general, there are no universal development strategies in Heroes; that's what makes them great. More often for Barbarian — yes, Behemoths are standardly squeezed in, but there are also frequent cases where Ogres, Orcs, and Birds are built in Castle, for example, if there's an external dwelling of Orgs, and the respawn isn't very rich. And I've even seen Cyclopes played in Castle, in place of Bears, when there was an external dwelling, and, say, some Bow was visible on the horizon.

Also, statements like "I never upgrade Goblins" amuse me :smile07: If Gretch comes second, you still won't upgrade Goblins? And in general, rushing out on turn one with 8 speed, removing retaliation with upgraded Gobs, and covering Shooters on round two, is pretty decent in my opinion. ;)
Similarly, you can build Orcs on day one instead of Wolves; it all depends on the initial conditions and the respawn.

In short, don't chase standards, learn to think and plan first, my little pupils. :smile29: :smile08:
