Hordes of skeletons – I might not be an expert.
Damage 1-2, health 5.
But forgive me when they become level 3-4 with 9 hit points.
That is, more than twice as strong as their original form.
Undead casters focusing on defense... o_O
A high defense stat allows for effective use of dark magic.
Sorcerers + defense prevent them from being quickly defeated by 2-5 troops.
That is, in the middle of a battle with the undead, you've already been turned into a punching bag, and the necromancer is starting to think about which units to resurrect to minimize losses.
!A prolonged battle with the undead is a death sentence.
We've already talked about the number of skeletons.
But I don't hear any praise for dragons.
One of the most aggressive and unpleasant tier 7 units in the entire Heroes of Might and Magic 5 when fighting against humans.
Vampires and liches, just like in Heroes of Might and Magic 3, are simply good units.
Vampires have a major drawback: they still don't get a retaliatory attack.
Everything else is mediocre.
In short, the undead faction is all about that.
Realistically, the undead can win against dungeons and humans under equal conditions
