Posts from - Замок (Castle)

Expensive, but a solid castle. Angels are too expensive, that's why I don't like it. In the Tower, Titans appear as early as the 2nd week for me. But in this Castle, they only appear on the 4th week. Anyway, I don't like it. -- Tower is better!

Alright, fine, play as the Tower then... But in a one-on-one battle, the Castle will completely crush the Tower... It's been tested. There (in the Tower), you only have Mages, Nagas, and Titans – they're good, but everything else... Ugh....
Compare all the creatures of the Tower and the Castle (not in the usual way, with all skills at level 1 and no magic), but as a level 20 Mage vs. a level 20 Knight... All the Castle's creatures will have decent defense and attack (and that's all I need), while the Mage casts one spell and spends the rest of the round watching his army get turned into dust... :) You see, in the Castle, both the Priest and the Knight are warriors (well, the Priest is a combat mage, but that doesn't change anything), while in the Tower, you only have Mages and Alchemists (a parody of a Priest...).

Well, you know, I wouldn't say that! Honestly... The Castle will win against the Tower mainly because of its faster development in the early game – but if you do it the way you suggest – level 20 vs. level 20, with troops for the same number of weeks – then it's far from certain that the Knight will win, believe me!!! You can cast a very powerful spell – like berserk half of your army – and what will you do? Go make a great explosion, a meteor shower, a chain lightning spell :D And just something massive, like a slowing spell – and then comfortably shoot down all the Knight's troops! Archdevils are certainly strong creatures, but there's a way to deal with them – Nagas, for example ;) In general, your attack/defense won't help either :) Besides, you can reduce these parameters with spells ;) And in general, it all really depends on the player who controls the army. It's really all about him!

It really all depends on him!

I agree! If a player is playing against the AI with this setup, then most likely the player will win, no matter which side (Castle or Tower) they play as... but player against player is more complicated... it all depends on the players themselves... it's just a matter of luck, and of course, it all depends on experience and skill.

2 Microatomic Either you are an exceptional player, or you are exaggerating a bit. I have never had Titans in the second week, except in cases with a Fortress on a hill. Giants - yes, that's understandable, but Titans... I mean, of course, the "impossible" difficulty level. But angels, unlike giants, are excellent fighters. And they can make a difference in the game even without upgrades. And in a prolonged game, another factor may come into play - in the Castle, you can upgrade the angels collected in the griffon conservatories.

Castle is my favorite faction. I'm too lazy to prove and explain why. But I'm not saying it's the strongest ;) As for Archangels, only ancient creatures can handle them.

In my opinion, the Castle is the most "average" town. It has neither significant advantages nor significant disadvantages. The absence of a fifth-level mage guild and special buildings (artifact merchant, treasure trove, mana vortex) is unlikely to please anyone. Things are slightly better with warriors; I consider crusaders, champions, and archangels to be the most useful. The Castle lacks a specific specialization (Swamp - defense, Stronghold - attack, Tower - magic). Prices are also average (except for angels/archangels).

I like the Heroes in the Castle... Adel, of course (although I never use her for aesthetic reasons), the hero with the Prayer skill is very good, and Orrin with his ranged attack, which plays a significant role when you have 2 ranged units in your army...
and also - please remember that with random map generation, the spawn points play a big role, and humans have a richer selection than most other factions, and the terrain is good - it's a civilization, after all! (....I don't like swamps though))
The downsides, of course, are the limitations in magic, first of all... the risk of being left without Dimension Door, Fly, and Town Portal for some is quite high.... and Fanatics are weak for level 5 (which, in my opinion, should be one of the main units), although they do shoot.
In general, if you look at the Castle, it's through the lens of comparison with other factions...
The situation with the Rampart is as follows (I'm mainly considering the upgraded versions):

Centaurs - Halberdiers. Almost comparable units, but Centaurs are slightly faster and don't require stone to build... although they are more expensive.

Gnomes - Archers. Well, Archers are certainly more useful, especially at the beginning. There are more Gnomes in terms of growth rate, they are more resilient, and their task is to support and take the brunt of the attack (and withstand it!!)... Archers are good at the beginning, then they become a nuisance for the enemy (annoying, but no more), Gnomes, on the contrary, have magic resistance...
Elves - Griffins. Great Elves, despite having very little health, are a powerful unit with a double attack (don't forget that 2 attacks increase the chance of Luck triggering, which the Rampart almost always has in its "offerings"). Griffins, with a comparable growth rate to Elves, don't shoot... and importantly, Elves can finish a battle with a strong opponent without losses (especially if their movement speed is increased with the Ivory Tower), while Griffins cannot, as they fight in melee and losses are quite possible, although small (still, it's a strong unit - I'm not arguing).
Pegasus - Crusaders. Hmm. Well, what can I say.... I like the Rampart... but not enough to lie to its face-)))))). Crusaders are stronger. Significantly. Proven=)))
Dryads - Fanatics. But here it's interesting: completely different roles, as in the case of Gnomes, but in reverse. Fanatics need to be protected from melee combat, while Dryads can protect any unit themselves. Here, I am completely on the side of Dryads - their ease of construction (in the first week with 200% difficulty), a growth rate of 8 per week, and the ability to hold their ground really appeal to me (although it's not rational to use them against Fanatics and they move slowly). In addition, Tactics is a frequent skill for Rampart Rangers, and in a serious battle, you can position them well so that the enemy cannot flank them.
Unicorns - Champions. Difficult to compare. On the one hand, Unicorns can blind, which is cool, and they provide magic resistance, which is also good. On the other hand, the cavalry charge deals significant damage. And they are built only with wood and gold and without any prerequisites for building levels 5 and 6. I think the units are comparable, with a slight advantage for Champions.
Gold Dragons - Archangels. Dragons are immune to the magic of the Castle, as Town Portal is not available in the Castle. But in direct combat, Archangels are stronger (although not significantly). Dragons are difficult to build, but they only require crystals. I don't think that in approximately the same spawn conditions, Angels will appear much earlier than Dragons.

This is just my opinion, if there are any gross errors - please forgive me and don't judge too harshly-))))))!!

Castle might not be everyone's favorite, but it deserves respect. After all, what would we do without people? We are all people, after all. Castle has been and will be present in all parts of the game – it's a constant. I'm even sure that the developers came up with it first.

Little Tar came to his father and asked: "Dad, is the Castle good?"
-"Yes, son, IT'S NOT BAD!!"))

In my opinion, it's the strongest faction in Heroes, of course, in skilled hands...
1. Spearman is the strongest unit of level 1.
2. Archer is a weak point because all towers prefer to eliminate them first; there should be many of them (a unit rated 3).
3. Griffin is the backbone, good speed, a response to all attacks, decent strength, an overpowered unit!
4. Knight is the mainstay of the entire army, moderately strong, attacks twice, average speed.
5. Monk is strong but very vulnerable.
6. Cavalier - the cavalry bonus is key!
7. Archangel is the strongest creature in all castles (read: in CASTLES, i

In my opinion, it's the strongest faction in Heroes, in the right hands, of course...
1. Spearman is the strongest unit of level 1.
2. Archer is a weak point, because all towers prefer to eliminate them first; there should be many of them (a unit worth a 3).
3. Griffin is the backbone, good speed, a response to all attacks, decent strength, an overpowered unit!
4. Knight is the mainstay of the entire army, moderately strong, attacks twice, average speed.
5. Monk is strong, but very vulnerable.
6. Cavalier - the cavalry bonus is great!
7. Archangel is the strongest creature in all castles (read - in CASTLES, i.e., among the factions; the rest, like the Crystal Dragon and Azure Dragon, don't count).

Well, well... Spearman is the strongest unit of level 1?? Haven't you heard of Centaurs????
Archer is worth a 3? No, it's worth 3.5 because, compared to Magog, it's much more useful!!!!!!!!!!!
But in general, Haven rules (yes, it produces deserters!!!);)

If someone doesn't like this Castle, let them try playing with it first
(on impossible difficulty)!!! It's the perfect Castle.

Tim17 is right – at maximum difficulty, the castle only needs wood and ore. You can immediately build level 4 creatures and a citadel, and if you're a little lucky with money and resources, you can even build a castle. At the beginning of next week, upgrade the archers, buy everyone except the swordsmen, and go forth to conquer! There might be trouble with the monastery, but with an abundance of wood, level 6 cavalry can be built quite quickly... and if there's also an external stable near the castle, then champions aren't even needed – the upgrade is free!!!
With a decent respawn rate, two weeks is enough to create a decent army.

Well, well... Is the Spearman really the strongest unit at level 1? What about Centaurs?
An Archer with a 3? No, a 3.5, because it's much more useful compared to Magog!
But overall, Castle rules (even if it does produce deserters!!!);)

We can argue about this for a long time.
Ultimately, it's up to the player to decide what's more important: speed or defense:smile13: :
Comparison:
Halberdier: Attack 6, Defense 5, Damage 2-3, HP 10

The main thing is to get the crossbowmen and griffons early – that will do the trick! Then, produce fanatics (or just regular fanatics), and champions, and if you don't have enough resources, then cavalry! And, of course, halberdiers!
