All this is nonsense, magic rules. Titans rule! And by the way, does anyone remember who is stronger, Titans or Black Dragons?

Black Dragon rules!:p

But in general, I like Barbarians, especially the Ogre Lords!:cool:

Barbarians aren't very good as heroes... Mages are better!

That's the point – Barbarian creatures + a Mage or Knight hero – that's the perfect combination!:cool:

Don't say that! The Barbarians don't have any flying units...

Why is everyone silent about the Necromancers? Those upgraded Liches are just awful.

Necromancers are only good in their own Necropolis...:mad:

Necromancer are only cool in their own castle...:mad:
When I played online in H2 (though it was a long time ago and for a short while, as I soon switched to the third one), I won several games by taking a Necromancer hero, even though I started with other castles. And in the third one, by the way, this is also a popular tactic. It all depends on the map—whether there's an opportunity to raise a bunch of skeletons...
Also, the Necromancer has the best starting spell of all. :) In general, the debate over which hero is better hasn't become any more meaningful in the 10 years since it began. The best hero is the one you need at the moment! For a prolonged game, you take a Barbarian; for a blitzkrieg, any mage will do, but a warlock is better; on a sea map—the lady... only the Knight is a question; he's taken if a warrior is needed and there are no Barbarians in the tavern. :cool:

The Knight is great because he has ballistics and leadership! I often won maps by combining a Knight hero with a Barbarian army...!!!:cool:

I was reading the thread and came across a truly masterful post. I looked at the poster's nickname and understood everything:)))

Still, I'll say a few words in defense of the Sorceress. The thing is, there are such wonderful spells as Berserk, Dimension Door, and a few others... (you can guess the rest...)

Of course, we remember:

Black Dragons;)

But in my opinion, Barbarians are the strongest, especially if they give wisdom!;)

Exactly!

My main force was still the Ogre lords! It's a pity that the Orcs are weak there... :mad:

In my opinion, it's like Rock-Paper-Scissors: Knights crush Barbarians (due to their abnormally high attack and defense, and higher speed), all Warlocks crush Knights, but they are roughly equal to Barbarians. Of course, if a Knight or Barbarian finds the Amulet of Anti-Magic (which was only available in the Price of Loyalty), then it's game over for all Warlocks.
But in general, I personally liked the Wizard Castle the most (the one with the Titans); Titans are not much weaker than Black Dragons, and they can shoot and be resurrected – immunity to magic is not only a plus. Moreover, Wizards have good ranged attacks in general – Halflings die quickly, but they also hit hard, and Mages even more so; although they have a bit too little health for their high cost.
The Sorceress Castle is also interesting. They have decent troops, especially ranged units, and strategic advantages – although during battle, all those Knowledge points are useless and cannot be compared to the Warlock's Spell Power, and these sorceresses can cast Astral Gates as much as they want.
And one of my friends used a funny tactic – Phoenixes, Anti-Magic, and Armageddon.
But, of course, Warlocks are the best at casting Armageddon. If they build Black Dragons and get this spell, everyone is doomed. But if they don't... then they are doomed. They have so little mana, and their troops are so weak without spells that Barbarians can, for example, split their army into two parts and drain all the opponent's mana in the first battle; then the Warlock is finished. Necromancers are generally not very promising. Only Death Wave is good, and that's it. And you can only take undead units – Necromancers generally don't have Leadership. In short, it's a nightmare, not a race.
As for hero classes, the Knight is the best, especially in a long game. After level 10, he equally increases all stats, and in battles with large armies, only Blessings and Curses are useful spells. Moreover, they don't necessarily have to work for 20 turns – so all the Warlock's spell power, which is so destructive in the early stages of the game, goes to waste. Barbarians are also good, especially considering that they are often offered Logistics, and they have a Scout from the very beginning, but they still lack intelligence, and Wisdom is rarely offered to them. And with only one attack and such slow speed, you can't get very far.

Nice to meet a fellow expert!
By the way, another powerful combination is phoenixes + storm elementals! With a sorceress hero (from the phoenix castle), she can cast this spell a decent number of times!

In my opinion, they have something like Rock-Paper-Scissors: Knights crush Barbarians (due to abnormally high attack and defense and higher speed), all Wizards crush Knights, but are roughly equal to Barbarians. Well, of course, if a Knight or Barbarian finds the Sphere of Anti-Magic (but this was only possible in The Price of Loyalty), then it's the end for all Wizards.
And so - I personally liked the Wizard Castle the most (the one with the Titans); the Titans are not much weaker than black dragons, and besides, they shoot and can be resurrected - immunity to magic is not only a plus. Moreover, Wizards generally have good ranged attacks - half-elves die quickly, but they also hit hard, and mages even more so; although they somehow have too little health for such a high price.
There's a cool castle with the Sorceresses. Decent troops, especially archers, and strategic advantages - although during battle, all these dozens of Knowledge points are useless and cannot be compared with the Warlock's Spell Power, and these ladies can cast astral gates as much as they want. And one of my acquaintances used a funny tactic - phoenixes, anti-magic, and Armageddon.
But, of course, Warlocks are the best at casting Armageddon. If they build black dragons and get this spell, everyone is doomed. But if not... then they are doomed. They have so little mana, and the troops without spells are so insignificant that Barbarians can, for example, divide the army into two parts and drain all the mana from the opponent in the first battle; then the Warlock is finished. Necromancers are generally a dead end there. Only Death Wave is good, and that's it. And you can only take undead troops - Necromancers generally don't have leadership. In short, it's a nightmare, not a race.
And in terms of hero classes, the Knight is the best, especially in a long game; after level 10, he equally levels up all stats, and in battles with large armies, only blessings and curses are useful from spells. Moreover, it is not at all necessary that they work for 20 turns - so all the Warlock's spell power, which is so destructive in the early stages of the game, goes to hell. In principle, Barbarians are cool, especially considering that they are often offered logistics, and they have a scout from the very beginning, but they still lack brains, and wisdom is rarely offered to them. And with only one attack and such slow speed, you won't get far.

Well said!
But you underestimate the dark side (Necromancers), young Skywalker!:D They are very strong and level up well. And liches and vampires are awesome!:cool:
