Posts from - Which faction is stronger? (Necropolis, Tower, or Conflux)

Everything depends on the map. On the XXL map, Necromancer is the best. I won't talk about the others, as I haven't played them.

There is no answer to the question for the reasons stated in previous posts.

But if we were to forbid the level 1 upgrade for all three, forbid the Cloak of the Undead King for Necropolis, reduce the Phoenix growth from +4 to +2... The early game acceleration of Conflux and Tower immediately drops, the imbalanced Phoenixes are not as strong in the end because there are significantly fewer of them, and there is no Necro cheesing with the Cloak of the Undead King — an invincible tactic, simply no chance (especially for Isra and Vidomina)...
Are we looking at balance? A lot could change in the end...

"Yes, Titans are awesome!" (c) - sorry for the off-topic, I couldn't resist quoting that most brilliant phrase from a year ago that came up in a discussion on a similar topic... :D

What is Cloak of the Undead King? I'm just not very good with abbreviations :mad: , and I can't be bothered to think.

Portable cavitation pump.

What kind of "pain" do the Necromancers have? If you've played, you know - that's what is called Cloak of the Undead King... :)

In Necropolis, the pump is called a pickaxe. Well, that makes sense...

But what's the point of creating such a balancing act? The creators of Heroes have already balanced all the factions. And if Phoenixes have a +4 bonus, then that's how it should be. They are inherently weaker.

I don't argue with these guys – they're doing a great job, and personally, I'm quite happy with the balance. I just removed the objectively strong aspects from everyone (it's clear that they are incomparable, but I pointed out the first things that came to mind – these are the points that are often considered a plus), which allows you to think about the essence of the army, and not about some (conditional) advantages... :) I also include Phoenixes in this category.

I personally believe that Necropolis is stronger than the others in most cases. But not always, of course.

Regarding Necropolis. At the beginning of the game, it's quite challenging because the first (and last) ranged unit is only available at level five, which creates difficulties. Tower, on the other hand, is the city with the most ranged units. And although many say that it's difficult to start with Tower, I still believe that the Master Archers are very helpful in the first two weeks.
Conflux is good in many ways, except for one: weak units.

And we should also add: they are very expensive.

Although, I never really understood why it's difficult to start with a Tower. I would say the opposite, especially with Master Gremlins; if you manage to get at least 100 of them, it will be very convenient. Of course, I'm not considering the cheater Solmyr. :)
With him, I don't think there's such a problem at all.

Conflux is good in many ways, except for one: weak units.

I disagree! Take a look at levels 2-3... Archers are amazing! Level 2 is like level 3, level 3 is like level 4... in terms of stats... So, don't talk about weakness! Upgraded fairies are monsters! (because of their retaliatory strike and quantity). And so on... plus immunities to various magic... In general, their only downside is that they are expensive in terms of gold.

P.S. I don't like playing as Conflux :)

What is ПКН. I'm just not very good with abbreviations :mad: , and can't be bothered to think.

:smile54: :smile52: :smile52: :smile52: And here I always thought it was the Cloak of the Undead King :smile24: .
Badping invented an interesting type of pump :) . He who knows will understand ;) .

On an HL map, it's not difficult for everyone to play at the beginning. Each castle has a specific monster that can be used to defeat everyone needed. For Necropolis, on the first week, you build either Liches or Vampires; for Fortress, I personally use Mages and Golems, although on the second week, Nagas appear, and sometimes all the units in that castle appear without upgrades. As for Elementals, I hate them as a town. I only use them as a university when needed, and if you can buy many of them on the map, then Phoenixes.
All of this is, of course, on the maximum difficulty level. If you set the monsters to the most difficult level, it will only slow you down for a week. So, I don't worry about it too much.
And against a human player, I think it won't be difficult to develop. There will definitely be at least 4 weeks of freedom, in my opinion. At most, a light rush to check the territorial situation.

aha) 2nd is like 3rd) 3rd is like 4th) 5th is like 4th))
because of the strength of the starting units, the later ones are weaker)

I choose Tower)
P.S. I don't like playing as the other two races)))

I completely agree with Arandor. Conflux units work well with magic. Towers also have plenty of magic. And if you take that magic away, then it turns out that the Conflux is far behind the other factions (except for the Elves – they are really powerful).
