Posts from Which monster do you like the most in Heroes 5 at level 5?

Well, it's not a given that the price corresponds to the quality. Take, for example, the Archdevil and the Black Dragon. Why does the Black Dragon cost 4500 + 2 sulfur, while the Archdevil costs 4666 + 2 sulfur? Or, for example, tell me why a Goblin costs 10 gold, and a Skeleton costs 17. What makes a Skeleton more useful than a Goblin? You can throw a Goblin, sacrifice it, or just send it into battle and bless it. What can you do with a Skeleton? Nothing. And where is the fairness in pricing?

They made a lot of changes to the Orcs, so everything might change, and it seems that skeletons also cost 10 gold according to the new prices. Archdevil costs 3666 and has 2, while Black Dragon costs 3700 and has 2! But in most cases, the price seems to be accurate, but you're right, not always!

You guys are not really talking about level 5 here. For example, I like Nightmares regardless of the current skeleton price...

:D :D :D You're right.
By the way, Nightmares aren't the best choice either. If Fear worked more often, then yes. But as it is, it might only make a wall of units with high armor scatter and allow ranged units to pass through.

Yes, maybe unicorns have more versatile abilities, but Nightmares have higher speed, 8 versus 7, and insane initiative - 16 (just like Fury, only bigger). Unicorns also have decent initiative, but only 12...
Besides, Nightmares have a higher growth rate, 7 versus 6, which makes them comparable to Battle Unicorns in terms of HP and damage...

by the way, why isn't anyone discussing the white unicorns? They have an ability where any light spell or blessing cast on them is duplicated, imagine an enemy resurrecting someone, or a Knight casting his blessings, and the unicorn duplicates them, it's amazing, not just a unit.

Yeah, I missed that upgrade. Thanks for the info.
Looking at these upgrades, you wonder how it's possible to maintain balance, right?

Where did you get all this information? After all, the demo only featured creatures from Heaven, Inferno, and Stronghold. And if you look at the table with the alternate upgrade for Necropolis, the price of a Skeleton Warrior is 30, while the price of a Goblin Shaman and a Goblin Trapper is 20, and they are more useful: the Trapper will set a trap, and the Shaman will cast a spell against the enemy, and they also have a cart with goblins, and if you take into account their growth rate, you can soon organize tournaments in goblin gathering.

I don't remember exactly, but I think I read something like that on some website! And on the website where they posted the news about the Orcs and the upgrades, it said that peasants now cost 15 gold, and before it was 20! I think they also wrote something about skeletons, but not in the right place. Okay, let's drop this topic, we'll see what the Orcs are like when they come out.
By the way, it's good that you remembered the White Unicorn, it's a super horse, but it's not very good against Orcs, because an Orc is more likely to eat itself than cast Light magic!:D But still, it's a good horse!:)

Well, an Orc won't be able to cast light magic, but a Ranger can, unless the Orc has magic resistance. In my opinion, a white unicorn would be more useful against an Orc than a war unicorn, because the aura of magic resistance won't help here, and therefore, the white one is better in this situation. By the way, guys, why doesn't anyone talk about the Djinn Viziers? How do you like their ability to lower/raise luck?
P.s. Yes, I just checked Age of Heroes, where information about the new creatures that became known thanks to the demo is posted. Now the peasant costs 15 instead of 20.
