Balance in Heroes 5.

So, are we really supposed to praise the Demons? They are certainly not weak, and their summoning ability is good, but if you think about it, besides succubi and cave lords, they don't have any truly formidable units... And they fall pretty easily... In my opinion, both Elven factions can defeat them, and so can Haven. They're not that great!

eXeCuToR, are you comparing armies with equal stats? I'm not talking about the number of creatures, but about the hero's skills and parameters, artifacts, positive effects, skill points, etc. If you compare sides that are equally leveled up, then everything depends on the player's skill...
However, in unequal conditions, some areas of the map may offer advantageous conditions for one race or another, which allows them to level up faster... And unfortunately, the artificial intelligence doesn't always play perfectly.
I hope you are judging the balance after playing enough battles on the "Hero" difficulty level.
