Tell me, why did Nival mock the elves so harshly in Heroes of Might and Magic V and make them so dumb??? Especially their king, Alaron... No, his lines are just awful... "I hesitated when I needed to act... And before my very eyes, the demons destroyed the glory of the Griffin Empire... And on the same day, the emerald dragons left Irollan - because of me... *And rightly so!* I would have gone myself to apologize, but I'm afraid they wouldn't listen to me..." *That's right - let someone else do it for you!* Well, yeah! I'm not surprised that after his death, he turned into a tree... He was always like a tree... An oak, through and through... Moreover, because of him, Alex was killed, then Tieru, and he, abandoning everything, voluntarily went to the "Trial of Silanna!"
And Faidaen - this poet with his "Harmony is in danger!" He was told that he needed to hurry - Tieru needed his help! But no - I'll wait a couple more months until he's killed, and then I'll run to pretend I'm saving him. And why did he swear on his honor and the honor of Irollan that he wouldn't kill Biaru? Why let the succubus go? She would have given up that damn scroll anyway!
In general, in terms of stupidity, stubbornness, and selfishness, the elves are no worse than Queen Isabel herself...
And I'm also curious why Faidaen has such short ears? Did he actually use the advice from the joke:
Want normal ears?
Ask Railag how!
In general, with such an attitude towards the elves, it was much harder for me to complete the campaign with Faidaen. And what is his light magic? What does it mean to resurrect 46 hunters when they are killed in batches of 100 at a time? By the way, if you level up the warlocks' education and mana absorption, everything is great - mana rarely runs out in battles, even when casting enhanced chaos magic with a wave and summoning a phoenix, which, to put it mildly, is not cheap. I only relied on them in the "Cultist" mission from "The Necromancer." I completed it almost entirely with starting troops, buying very little in the captured cities.
