How does the Rogue hero class affect gameplay?
Haha, yeah, that's true. Here, a lot depends on the map... But in the early stages, you'll have to drag the thief around with the main hero and his army. And only release him when his Stealth skill is strong enough.
P.S. Why did you change your image so drastically, and why are you disappointed in mages?:)

Not necessarily, just level up the warrior a bit and let him roam around on his own. Especially in the early stages, and then focus on stealth.
Well, you can, but what's the point? Maybe it's better to take a Barbarian first and level up his Stealth. But still, at least have an army in the early stages.
Why did you change your image, and drastically at that? Did you get disappointed with mages?
Why is that...? I also like druids. Nature and Haven, I think you know that. But I'll repeat it one more time, just in case :) ZYbr, and by the way, let's continue this in AIM or a private message, okay?

Why is that... I love druids too. Nature and Order, as everyone knows, it seems. But I'll repeat one more time, just in case :) ZYbr, actually, let's move all this to ICQ or PMs, ok?

The point is to not get him killed right away. By the way, regarding the Barbarian, I don't remember exactly, but isn't it true that only, um... Barbarians can recruit him in a castle?
No, he's not in the Chaos castle, I think. But the point is that it's not just about the Chaos castle. Sometimes it's mentioned that having a Thief is also a good idea.
I played against a human opponent on an XL map. He bought a Thief((( He wasn't playing as Chaos, and he leveled up his Thief better than his main hero with all that running around. He leveled up a lot))))) When the Thief reached him, he just surrendered))) He was quite the killer)))
And what else did he level up besides his direct skill? I'm just curious...
No, it doesn't seem to be in the Chaos Castle. But we're not just talking about the Chaos Castle. Sometimes it's mentioned that it's good to have a Thief anyway.

Well, I was just saying in general, that Barbarians can only hire Barbarians, or something like that...

In general, the most striking example of a Thief is probably Agroniel (Storm campaign), although her class is Bard, but she's basically a Thief, especially in the first 2-3 levels, although it depends on how you level her up...

And what else did he pump up besides his direct skill? Just curious...
The point is that on the map there were many level 4 creatures guarding cool artifacts. At the beginning, they gave up to 2 levels (if my memory serves me right:D)
So, I ended up with a pumped-up fighter with Logistics and boots, and cool artifacts:)
And the MAIN heroes didn't even manage to fully pump up their own branch:D
Did you come to him without an army? on XL? well, then you are just... it's scary to play with you:D or the opponent messed up:)
So, you just need to know when and where to use the thief!
The "where" is clear, the main thing is "how." For example, Leshy's games are a great illustration; you can't say it's better or prove it...
and it seems the developers didn't realize that (I think that the fact that the hero also gains all the experience in battle is a bug; he should only receive the remaining 20% :))

But the thief is also useful because of his speed; you can level up not so much stealth as pathfinding, if I'm not mistaken, which will then increase the speed of the entire army.

That's right! :)
However, on online maps, stealth is often disabled to avoid interference (on many multiplayer maps, the landscape is built in such a way that stealth is useless there), because in online matches, the thief is taken in the vast majority of cases only because of the "Pathfinding" skill, since movement range is the key to victory. :smile10:
