Which faction from the sixth installment do you like the most: Haven, Necropolis, Inferno, Stronghold, or Sanctuary?

I like almost all of them, except for Inferno)). I have a personal dislike for them... Although, who knows, maybe I'll like them as I progress through the game. I've already managed to fall in love (even in the demo) first with humans, then with nagas, orcs, and now, playing the full game, with necromancers, thanks to Anastasia))).

I was only really impressed by the Nymphs and the Undead; the others didn't make much of an impression.

I'll play a bit more and then I'll give my verdict. For now, I'm pleasantly impressed with all the factions. Necromancy has been severely nerfed, which is a downside. But overall, everything is quite good.
The Necropolis faction is currently my favorite, but it's not easy to dismiss the others.

I also didn't particularly like Inferno. The other factions appealed to me with their ideas, new units, and appearance.

After playing the beta for over 50 hours, I realized that only humans can effectively counter Necromancers. While playing duels on a pirated version, I was unpleasantly surprised to find that the Necromancer skill remained quite powerful, making them virtually unbeatable. I hope they introduce the same penalty for healing as in the 5th game – a 10% health reduction. At least for skills and spells. Otherwise, only humans and Necromancers will be viable, and the other races will have very little chance.

Haven, as I see it, is effective only against Necropolis. By the way, have you played duels with Stronghold? That's where the real power lies!

It seemed to me that the Haven faction is effective only against Necropolis. By the way, have you played duels with the Stronghold faction? That's where the real strength lies :)!

I played as Necromancer and Haven against the Stronghold faction, and they didn't seem like a threat to me. Unfortunately, I didn't play against the Nagas in a duel. I hope to catch up when they finally bring the disc :smile35:

I recommend playing as the Stronghold faction ;). In the hands of the AI, they don't really seem like a serious force.

Naga – to be honest, it’s a bit difficult to play as them, but they have huge potential. Orcs – so far, I like them the most; they are powerful and have good tactics, they are my favorites. Necropolis – I like them, but they are a bit bland. It’s not very interesting to play as them, at least for me. Inferno – they are the most unique, just like in Heroes of Might and Magic V – if you don’t know how to play as them, you’ll lose; if you do, you can defeat everyone. Humans – they seem a bit weak; I defeat them quite easily every time, only their racial ability saves them.

Out of all the characters, I like Kirill the most, so I voted for Inferno.

Starting with the second game, I became a fan of Necropolis, and I remained loyal to it throughout the rest of the series.

It’s hard to say. I remember playing “Beta” over a network. There was a small map for two players (you could reach the opponent’s castle in 2.5 turns in a straight line). So, I was playing as the humans, and my opponent was playing as the Necromancers. I started, as usual, building up my army and quickly upgrading my castle to buy cavalry in the first week. My opponent just waited in the center. When I approached the center, I got confused and retreated, hoping to get the cavalry before he finished dealing with a strong neutral creature. In the end, he came to me and defeated me. Of course, I’m not a great player, but I felt the imbalance because his units and magic were more powerful. I’m saying that I don’t want to choose a faction until the balance is improved. P.S. And my favorite faction, the Warlocks, isn’t here =).

Inferno. I've loved them since I started playing Heroes (my first experience was with Heroes of Might and Magic V and The Shadow of Death). Little dogs, succubi, pitlords... It's romantic!
I want to play as Orcs and Nagas, maybe even as Necromancers. But I doubt I'll play as Humans.

Are the Stronghold and the Orcs the same faction?
