Heroes 6 - Discussion

A good reason to save up some money to buy the game.

Funny, but I clearly jumped to conclusions :smile43:. When I, playing as Orcs, defeated Necropolis, which I had practically declared unbeatable, I wanted to write here that "there is no defense against a weapon if there is no other weapon" :). But when I defeated the undead with humans...

Okay, for now, I'll write about my impressions after duels with Stronghold (a warrior hero with a Blood reputation).

Battle against Haven (Medium AI)
And again, the AI put archers in the front row. They didn't last long there after the attack of the panther warriors :D. A very easy battle, especially after the enraged cyclops destroyed the squads of novices and imperial griffins.

Battle against Inferno (Medium AI)
Perhaps I'll rephrase my first sentence: "there is no defense against Orcs" :). Despite the active opening of the gates, the battle went according to the previous scenario.

Battle against Stronghold (Medium AI)
I was already expecting a more difficult battle, but, again, the advantages of my Orcs outweighed the advantages of the enemy Orcs.

Battle against Bastion (Medium AI)
This was already a difficult battle - the sacred kirins disliked my harpies from the first turn and eventually destroyed them. The kensei dealt with the panther warriors. The crushers died against all the troops. But still, the cyclops, as always, destroyed everyone to smithereens with 150% attacks.

Battle against Necropolis (Medium AI)
Yes, yes, the Orcs won. The biggest irony is that I didn't lose a single squad. The battle was difficult, but, apparently, the Orcs are still effective against everyone. It's strange that they were so unfairly treated on the forum.

Conclusion:
Stronghold simply amazed me with how easy it was to play as them. Here are all their advantages:
+ double attack of the crusher;
+ counterattack of the harpy;
+ with "Ranged Attack 3" (removing the penalty for ranged attacks), goblins are simply super-shooters;
+ centaurs can shoot in any situation, even deal additional damage :);
+ shamans...
