Well, only vampires prevent Death from falling in my estimation:smile43: And also, devils and Necromancy 5th level (again, vampires:) ).
My favorite Castle is definitely Nature and its equivalents in all parts. In Heroes 4, they have very powerful summoning spells; once, this greatly helped me in a battle against a powerful army of neutrals. I summoned as many creatures as my mana allowed – and goodbye, djinns and titans (although the Chaos amulet of the latter made me sweat:)). With such magic, Barbarians and Chaos can't do anything:p. Only Order can cause trouble with Banish. A portal with manticores and other fantastical creatures is almost cheating, if it weren't for the cost:D.
In second place is Chaos (the most powerful direct damage spells, medusas with petrification, very strong (and expensive, darn it:D) Chaos creatures, ifrits with nightmares are good) and Order (I love ranged attacks, and they have plenty of them, although mages are taken down by everyone:), but I don't really like magic, maybe I'm just not used to it:confused: :smile43: ).
In third place is Life (good blessings, many ranged units – I like that:), resurrection with angels, amulets) and Death (curses, the best vampires in the series:smile24:, summoning with devils, "cheating:D" Necromancy).
In fourth place is Might (a VERY powerful hero (he'll defeat everyone with immortals:smile19:), strong units (especially the first level and monsters), but the lack of full-fledged magic kills me:( ).
All of the above is IMHO, you have the right to disagree:smile43:, I arranged the Castles this way, based on my personal preferences, so don't draw conclusions that I think, for example, that Chaos is weaker than Nature, or Life is stronger than Barbarians:smile43:. I just love beasts, dragons, elves, and magic, and I don't like playing as humans, who, besides angels and griffins in levels 3 and 5, don't have any interesting units:(.
