Heroes in Heroes of Might and Magic V: graphics, biographies, skills...

Katrine: in 3 it was nonsense, especially at high levels, but in 5 with +1 to attack and defense for every 2 levels - it's quite balanced.

Against the computer, yes. Against a player, no. They will purposefully hunt down "specialized" monsters. -> imho heroes of this type are useless.

And don't forget that in 5 there aren't artifacts as powerful as in 3, and for a level 20 Warlock it's quite realistic to have 50-70 mana, which may not even be enough to cast meteors at 16 for the whole battle

1 1 3 1.- those seem to be the starting ones.
+20 skills (not counting secondary ones like intelligence, secrets of destruction, etc.)
by logic a warlock should have
3 1 15 6
60 mana. 60/6 - 10 fireballs. With intelligence, 90 mana. IMHO more than enough. And empowered ones are used only when necessary.;)
