I think that to determine which race in HoMM 5 is stronger (if we're talking about strength, and not which race you simply like), it's enough to remember which castle you hate playing against the most... For me, it's definitely the Academy, which is also the castle I play most often (because I love magic and ranged tactics).
For example, let's take Ents and Rakshasa. Despite their incredible power, Ents usually spend most of the battle sleeping peacefully. It's easy to take them out with archers + lightning/ice bolt (with the appropriate ability that forces the target to skip a turn). But Rakshasa... they charge in and overwhelm you... ugh, I mean, they attack before you can even draw your bow. :(
Djinn easily bind archers (yes, they can be killed... but the battle is already taking place on your territory, and your attacking units are running to attack the Djinn instead of rushing to the enemy archers), and soon Gargoyles join them. By the way, Gargoyles are disgustingly drawn, but that doesn't diminish their usefulness. They are practically immune to attack magic, which means they automatically draw enemy units to them. So again, they "prevent us" from reaching the enemy ranks. We stand and beat them up.
Golems can still be survived - they are at least slow... but their magic resistance and endless counterattack create certain difficulties - our archers are most likely already bound by Djinn and Gargoyles, so we have to take them out "manually," that is, with melee-attacking units.
Well, Mages... that's just awful. :(. They will take down a lot of units, and it's not very effective to bind them - they cast Fireball, and they also help their "master" with mana.
I don't think Rakshasa needs to be advertised; they are like Nagas, only blue :D. I love, fear, and respect them.
Titans, no matter what, are thick and powerful. And also archers and casters... it's outrageous, in a word.
Yes, and I also want to confess my eternal love (when I play as them) and hatred (when they play against me) for the "Academy" lady, Orea. She casts spells like a jackhammer - a powerful spellcaster. :eek:
