Haven discussion.

No matter how much I love the Academy, I have to admit: the Haven Castle in Heroes 5 is the best of all... I mean the Castle itself, the city, not the creatures =) See for yourself... The city looks magnificent. That's one thing. But all the cities in the fifth installment are different in this respect. The real difference is that all the buildings are harmonious and easily complement each other. They don't feel "out of place," so to speak. Everything is simple and clear. By the way, the buildings themselves are very beautiful - just look at the angel statues, the huge crosses when building the Capitol. That's what I call beauty! Thirdly, the Castle itself inspires respect. Seriously, when I first saw it, I was simply blown away. I can't find another word to describe it. A huge Castle on a river in the middle of endless sun-drenched plains, seemingly invincible. Please, if you haven't already, do the following. Build the Castle completely, up to level 34-35. Now, exit the Castle and re-enter, without pressing anything. You will be shown the Castle from all sides in a cinematic camera shot. Combined with the absolutely stunning music, which is truly one of the best soundtracks in the history of computer games, it really looks fantastic. Even if Haven isn't your favorite faction, you will still be impressed. Because no other Castle in the game has such grandeur and stateliness, and I swear to you. Besides, Haven is the most atmospheric Castle. It is so bright and airy that you think, how else could you depict a Castle of light forces, and you couldn't do it better. Seriously, it's amazing. A-m-a-z-i-n-g.

P.S. The Academy is still my favorite, though ;)
