Which faction do you like the most in Heroes of Might and Magic IV?

I preferred Chaos – it’s my favorite, and its magic in the fourth game is the best because it’s the most balanced. Besides the incredibly powerful hit-attack spells, it also has excellent blessings, like “Bloodlust” and “Cat’s Reflexes.”

Yes, Chaos is balanced, and its creatures are good, and it’s easy to develop. Medusa plus Cat’s Reflexes is just amazing, as is the Cloud of Confusion. I think it’s even too strong… although it does have its weaknesses.

BARBARIANS!
Because their Castle, with its growth and prices, is the best, as are their heroes! With their attacks and defenses against everything!

In my opinion, it’s the most pathetic race. I don’t want to offend the fans, but it’s still true. They only have a chance at the beginning, and in the late game, they get crushed by mages. Maybe they only have a chance against Life because there’s no protection against them, and that’s game over. And I also disagree that it’s interesting to play them; in my opinion, they’re the most boring, with few tactical possibilities. All IMHO.

But in DISCIPLES, for example, there’s a “Mountain Race.”

Yes, but they have very low initiative, so they get taken down quickly. The Empire is the best, with its assassins and hierophants. By the way, in DISCIPLE 3, they promise to nerf the Necromancers and Mountain Folk, although this is probably to release it faster and make more money, like with +2 add-ons: “The Undead Invasion” and “The Awakening of the Dwarves.”
