Which faction is best to play against humans on a large map, when a hero can be leveled up to 35, and the army is approximately 3 or 4 months old? Human builds: 1. Attack - Retribution, Frenzy, Tactics. 2. Defense - Resilience, Impregnable. 3. Luck - Magic Resistance, Soldier's Luck, Deadly Strike. 4. Logistics. 5. Dark Magic - Diminishing Returns, Weakness. Thank you for your help.

The player is using:
5 Dark Magic - Dim Darkness, Weakness to Darkness

Dim Darkness and Weakness to Darkness can only be learned by Orcs.
Against Humans, you can choose Light Elves or Orcs.

Probably, they meant "Seal of Darkness" and "Weakness of Darkness" in the Mind Lord perk for the Knight.
You can also try with Orcs: Logistics - Path of War, Attack - either through Devilish Strike or through Retribution with Leadership, Defense, Luck - something like that. If you play for a long time, you can forget one of the skills with a mentor and try to take the Darkness Nullifier, since the opponent will definitely go into Darkness.
You can also play with Dwarves: take Magic or Chaos, if Sorcery starts to grow well, or Light; in a long game, it might even be preferable, and it will be easier to remove their Darkness, especially if you take Eternal Light.

Padme made a good point... I was wrong :)) We're playing on the Dark Forest map... unfortunately, there's no mentor there... And if playing as Elves, what's the best way to level up the hero and what skills should I focus on? The opponent will definitely choose Dark Magic... I've tried playing as Orcs, and I only win when the opponent chooses Light Magic, but with Dark Magic, it's a problem... resistance doesn't work, even with Dampening, and I end up hurting myself... :)) Rift, I'm leveling up the Orc roughly as you described... only I'm taking Garuna and instead of Leadership, I'm taking Dampening... I'm thinking of replacing it with Education... although now I'm also considering Leadership :))

I think it's better to play as Inferno or Necropolis. Although, if you're a Demon Lord and have learned Hellfire, you might be in for a very unpleasant surprise if the enemy has fire resistance and some artifacts.

Which race is best to play against humans on a large map, when the hero can be leveled up to 35, and the army is about 3 or 4 months old?
The human develops:
1 Attack - Retribution, Frenzy, Tactics.
2 Defense - Endurance, Stone Skin.
3 Luck - Magic Resistance, Soldier's Luck, Deadly Strike
4 Logistics
5 Dark Magic - Diminish Magic, Weakness
Thank you for your help.

In this case, I would advise playing as Necropolis; the best hero to choose is Lucrezia (Vladimir is also a good option). It is best to develop the following skills:
1) Attack - Frenzy, Archery (for liches and skeletons), Tactics.
2) Defense - Dodge, Stone Skin.
3) Luck - (Same as for the knight, but without Magic Resistance).
4) Summoning (Halfway).
5) Dark Magic - (Fully).
If you don't like Necropolis, you can try Tower.
PS: The knight is unlucky; "Diminish Magic" belongs to the Orcs :) and Dark Magic spells rarely appear in Haven castles. :smile44:
Good luck! Sincerely, Rainer.

Padme pointed it out well... I made a mistake :))

And if playing as Elves, what is the best way to develop the hero and what skills should be prioritized? The enemy will definitely take Dark Magic... I tried playing as Orcs and only won when the enemy took Light Magic, but with Dark Magic, it's a problem... resistance doesn't work, even with Diminish Magic, and I end up hurting myself... :))

He won't be able to learn Dark Magic spells. :smile02:

Human Castles have a lot of dark tiles. And light ones, of course.

Darkness drops quite often in human castles. Well, and light, of course.

Most often, Unclean Word drops :D
And spells like: Berserk and Subjugate are rare :o

PS: If it doesn't work with Necromancers, you can try Mages; they have high magic resistance.

Yes, that's true. Although, I think I got vampirism a couple of times. And it's not worth the risk: there's always a chance that the opponent will get what they need.

Yeah, that's right. Although, I think I got vampirism a couple of times. And I don't want to risk it: there's always a chance that the opponent will get what they need.

It's a shame that the author didn't mention if the map has random towns...

She's right ;) The Academy really has a chance... they know magic better...

PS: But the message should be edited a bit (And what does magic have to do with it? =) )
