Posts from Different types of heroes in Heroes 2. Auto-translated

In the second Heroes game, the Captain allows you to use the magic guild even when a hero is not present.
There is no city tower management in the second Heroes game (it exists in the third).

But I am 100% sure that there was some way to manage the towers!:smile29:

Dear DarkMavr! Please upload the save file to this thread, in which you can control towers in the SECOND (specifically the second, not the third) Heroes game. After that, we will all acknowledge this possibility. I apologize, but in the absence of this save file, the possibility of controlling towers in the second Heroes game is as likely as the presence of naga, golden dragons, dreadnoids, or ifrits – that is, it simply does not exist. I hope for your understanding; until the save file appears, further messages on this topic will be deleted.

And are Warlocks good, evil, or neutral, like Barbarians????????

Unlike the third installment, in Heroes 2, the division into "Good and Evil" is purely conventional.
Usually, the "Good" side includes sorceresses (mages, the Phoenix Castle, and elves), knights, and wizards (the Titan Castle).
The "Evil" side includes necromancers, warlocks (the Black Dragon Castle), and barbarians.

Hmm... don't forget that Necromancers also have the magic to restore a corpse, and about their special building, the Shrine.
It would also be interesting to hear opinions about the archer's skills and about the Shield magic, which protects against arrows (how effective it is).
And regarding the division into good and evil - it's not arbitrary, because this is evident when playing through the campaign, and if you look more closely, good and evil have their own opposites:
Knight (good) <---> Barbarian (evil)
Fairy (good) <---> Necromancer (evil)
Wizard (good) <---> Warlock (evil)

I always take the archer when playing as a Sorceress (as noted, it drops frequently there). I also take the Knight if he has captured a Sorceress castle and replenished his units with his archers (and I often take him in general because I try to have at least two archers in my army – I don’t take them for Necromancers and Warlocks). Magic Shield is very useful when attacking a town, as the towers attack predictably. It saves the archers from total destruction. (There are also options here; if there are few troops in the town, but it can’t be broken in one or two rounds, I cast the shield; if it can be broken in one round, I use magic to help finish off the defenders). I rarely use it in battles on the field (only if the computer attacks predictably).

Oh yes, and regarding Heroes, I usually take heroes corresponding to the castle, but in general, I prefer Knights and Wizards. I’m not very familiar with the intricacies of Heroes II, so this choice is simply based on my preferences. :)

Ever since the early days, when my Warlock's blue creatures were chopped to pieces by paladins, I've always chosen Beavers as my main heroes. In the second game, if there's a decent area for movement, I pick a Knight. The only exception might be the Dragon Rider, but who even uses him? Even in Forsaken Lands, I only used a Necromancer to get advanced necromancy and eliminate the legion of skeletons on day 8 without any losses, for example, using Rangers. After that, the Necromancer would sit in the castle, and the Knight, after collecting chests with skeletons, would go to the Warlock. Building a mage instead of an army is complete suicide. And with green creatures, magic isn't particularly useful for the Knight, especially with stats like 10-10. A dozen fast Hydras from the Warlock will have a hard time biting them. Also, when dying, mages like to give necklaces and scrolls to the melee units. Don't let the battle on even very large maps drag on to the 3rd month, and there won't be any huge battles. Sometimes, in the home castle, there are black dragons, and there isn't even a magic tower.
