Posts from The eternal question: which heroes are better, mages or warriors?

I didn't believe it either, because I asked everyone in the city, and they all said there weren't enough copies.
Who knew that so many people would buy this absurd disc.

Mages!
For some reason, most of the colleagues participating in the poll voted for battle mages.
Remember, colleagues, at the very beginning, who do you start playing as? I am convinced that it is either a mage or a warrior.
And only later do you train him to be a mage-warrior or a warrior-mage. But Mages are primary!

Of course, everyone started playing either as a Wizard or a Knight, because at the beginning of the game, the hero is not yet leveled up. But it's better if the hero has both combat and magical skills, which is why most people voted for battlemages.

Warrior is a great hero, but I won't argue that a couple of skills with a focus on magic would also be useful for him, although the sphere of prohibition and many other skills would simply become useless... :)

I think it's better to have something in between a Mage and a Warrior... A large army with magical power... Then it will be easy to increase the strength of creatures to the strength of Warrior creatures. Plus, casting spells will be more effective!

I think a battle mage is great! But... a mage is even better because a mage can boost the strength of units to match that of warriors, and magic... well, there's no need to even talk about it. Plus, berserk is a great skill. And as a warrior, a mage can protect their own units with magic. But in general, I usually develop as a battle mage, focusing more on magic.

If you're playing on a large map and against the AI, this is completely irrelevant. Towards the middle of the game, a powerful mage emerges from the main hero.

I still remember Sir Mullich with 30 defense and 24 magic power! :D The map was called Brave New World. Therefore, it's wise to give a warrior hero some magical skills – in the future, he will be stronger than many enemy mages.

I think a mage is better (even though I voted for warriors). I often play as mages myself, but it can be disappointing when you level up magic instead of combat skills, and then you realize that the opponent has a spell of prohibition:eek:. This doesn't happen often, so it's either all or nothing...:smile13:

Man, it takes a long time to read all the posts...

Fact (doesn't matter if it's already been mentioned) - Warriors are strong on small maps at the beginning of the game. Mages are strong on any map, but only in the middle and at the end of the game. It's very, very difficult to defeat a well-developed mage in the late game - I mean for a warrior. A strong warrior is VERY dependent on the artifacts he has. A mage, on the other hand, is not. So, everyone does what they're good at. I personally voted for mages.

My opinion is this:
The Warrior is better, especially if he has water magic and a couple of simple spells.

And remember the standard map where there are 2 tiny islands, one gives 50 strength and 50 knowledge for a Tower, and on the other, there's a Barbarian with 50 defense and 50 attack... separated by 500 Iron Golems. It's hard for a Mage to win if he's caught outside the castle walls - it's death.

The best heroes are warriors. Magic doesn't always help. And in the game, it all comes down to the amount of mana. Therefore, first and foremost, choose a warrior, and then a mage. "Rely on magic, but don't be lazy."
But if we're talking about magic, I think that the best magic is earth and mind magic.

Well, I personally prefer the warrior class, although I wouldn't claim to know definitively which class is superior. For example, a mage can obliterate a large number of creatures with a single spell, but only if the opponent doesn't take measures to prevent it. Also, they can buff their own units or debuff enemy units. However, when playing as a mage, you're constantly worried about the safety of your units. On the other hand, when playing as a warrior, you simply focus on figuring out the most effective way to fight, because often, creatures of level 7 will approach your level 6 units, and not in small numbers. They might eliminate around 4-6 of your units, while your units eliminate the same number of theirs. But in general, if you play for a long time, whoever you choose will eventually become some kind of death machine with stats like 30, 29, 25, 26, or just with the numbers rearranged. Does it really matter if they were a warrior or a mage?

I don't often manage to achieve such a balanced distribution; more often, it's 10, 10, 40, 30, or vice versa, 30, 40, 10, 10.
I manage to create a balanced hero for the Knight, Necromancer, and Elf factions.
I believe that mages are stronger because they have spells like "Portal City" or "Spatial Gate," which almost guarantees victory.
And in general, it seems to me that the troops in magical castles are stronger.

That's strange, I never manage to do that. Do you use artifacts?)))) I always have artifacts that boost all 4 main stats. Although you're right, I remembered an example specifically for the races you mentioned. Maybe you're right.

Does the warrior hero not know any magic at all, or what?
