Posts from Which Haven heroes do you prefer?

It would be interesting to hear your opinion about the human heroes. Which one do you prefer to play as and why?:smile13:

Rutger, because he turns out to be the fastest hero overall, and if you also level him up and find (or buy) the Boots of the Swift Journey, then traveling around the map will simply be a pleasure.

And why does Axel appeal to everyone so much?

Here's a question: which Isabel are we talking about? :D The original one (from the base game) or the one from the expansion (In the Wake of Gods)? In any case, Isabel (preferably with the In the Wake of Gods version) and Axel.

[/U]Why does everyone like Axel so much?

Well, he was a guy from a poor family who became a knight! :D Doesn't that matter, you say? Okay. Usually, Paladins are at the front of the army, and you need them to reliably take out the entire enemy stack when attacking,

True Evil lies not in Darkness, but in Chaos.

Evil doesn't depend on race; it depends on inner rage.

As for the heroes, it's better to play as Axel. I leveled him up to level 40 and don't regret it at all.

I like Dugald more. If you put in the effort and turn the peasants into crossbowmen, you get a really powerful force, even scarier than paladins. And if you adopt a defensive strategy and surround him from all sides (it would be good to cast "anti-magic" on him too), it becomes even more effective! The opponent will either try to shoot down the crossbowmen, which is completely hopeless, or attack, and then the crossbowmen will attack his army with a direct shot using the enhanced ability "accurate shot," and the other units (which will have +30% defense) will retaliate very effectively. The result is clear!

I wouldn't say this is a foolproof tactic. First, you won't gather many archers this way. Second, it costs money. Third, your assembled group of archers won't stand a chance against arch masters, who can also be strengthened. Fourth, you might get blinded, so what will you do then? And I won't even mention how easily Titans will defeat your archers. I like Axel; paladins are powerful! In my opinion, he's one of the two most effective warriors in Haven. The other is the knight. I didn't immediately decide between Laszlo and Axel.

I just love Godric; he's the perfect Knight, loyal to his Suzerain, brave, honest, always fights for good. This was shown in the 5th mission of the 3rd campaign; he's just an awesome guy.

That’s exactly it – always rooting for the good guys is kind of boring. If we’re talking about evaluating the heroes, then I really like Agrael – he’s the most practical of them all. It’s a shame that only Haven heroes are available here.

I actually like Agrael the most – he's the most practical of them all.

Yeah :D, Agrael is a completely unrestrained adventurer :D, each mission with him is, in my opinion, madness :D, which is why I like him too :)

Regarding "Blinding" (and Dark Magic in general), I completely agree with you; it's very important who goes when (your hero, the enemy hero, the crossbowmen). You're also absolutely right about the money; such an upgrade simply RUINS the entire economy (a lot depends on whether you have Elaine as your hero). And of course, like everyone who plays as Humans, I simply adore Paladins (the Evil Swamp Dwellers just make me happy:smile14:).
You're wrong on two points:
1) If you don't waste peasants in battles (their combat ability is close to zero), you can gather a decent group. And if you have external settlements, you'll have even more peasants.
2) You underestimate the crossbowmen... you really underestimate them. If they are led by a strong hero, and in addition, Dugald, plus a considerable number:D :D :D, believe me, we've tested it with friends many times. Master Archers, Titans (there were more problems with Master Archers, as they were led by a specialist in archers), and Liches with skeletons were all blown to pieces.
I didn't understand one thing in your message: what did you like so much about the Heavy Infantry???? Okay, they are not very vulnerable to archers, they protect their own, and they fight decently in melee, but their speed and initiative are terrible, and they are not very good in melee combat either. They are only good for one thing - protecting archers, and that's why you take Laslo... I don't understand:confused:

Well, they are really good in battle; they have excellent defense, decent damage, and also a chance for a free attack – that’s just amazing. Knights are the backbone of the Haven army.

Well, they are actually very good in battle; they have strong defense, decent damage, and also a chance for a risk-free attack, which is just amazing. Knights are the backbone of the Haven army.

I didn't notice that:smile43: Well, let's not argue.
By the way, regarding the "100% tactic," I hope it simply doesn't exist:smile02:

Of course, there aren't any. There aren't any invincible players, are there?
As for what I can say about the Knights, try playing with them yourself, paying closer attention, or go up against a hero with high defense and a large number of Knights. Maybe you'll change your mind.
We can definitely argue – the main thing is that both sides provide arguments, and don't just yell at each other like idiots; then everything will be fine.

Of course, it doesn't exist:) There are no invincible players, after all.
And as for what I'll say about the "Lattniks," try playing with them yourself, paying closer attention, or go up against a hero with high defense and a large number of "Lattniks." Maybe you'll change your mind.

Alright! Let's try it. Here's an analogy: imagine Dark Elves versus Light Elves. The Light Elf has a disproportionately large number of Ents (150 versus 70 Shadow Lords of the Dark Elf) and very good defense (3 points higher than the Dark Elf's attack). I won't describe the whole battle, but the gist is this: the Ents fought well and defeated 3 units, but they attacked so rarely and moved so slowly that they couldn't save the battle; they were eventually defeated (mainly by ethereal Minotaur duplicates). I think the same will happen with "Lattniks," so I still don't think it's worth relying on such a low-initiative unit

It's not meant to be thrown at archers. It's meant to be used to throw a bunch of warriors, and it will bind them all there. And while that's happening, the archers will be shooting at the enemy, and there's a magic arrow that works against phantoms... You'll eventually run out of mana))) And the light factions usually have more knowledge than the dark factions.
