Posts from Which Haven heroes do you prefer?

It all depends on luck. If he faces cavalry at the beginning of the battle, then yes, the poor guys are doomed! But if he attacks first and doesn't hit them, but instead hits hydras (so there's no one opposite him in one turn except for hydras), or if only small units that he can't reach are opposite him, then the Haven faction has a great chance of not killing anyone at all. Because you just need to place all those lizards next to him (place, not attack) and beat him with everyone;)

Version 3.0 drastically changed everything in the game. Now, on long maps, I play as Iris, and on short maps (of course), I play as Vittorio. What a twist! Before, only the Stronghold could create a rapid-fire ballista with fire arrows, but now it seems like everyone can. I haven't seen two heroes clash early in the game with such ballistas, but I assume that both armies will suffer huge losses, and the winner will probably not be able to storm a Castle. So, by giving everyone a rushing ballista, the creators have effectively buried the possibility of rushing altogether.

The chances of Paladins catching up to the Riders are very high, and if there are Knights of Isabel:smile54:, then you can say goodbye to Assassins/Mistresses:smile04:.
Besides, the hero might have boots that increase movement range, then it's definitely game over!:smile11:

Dugald levels up quickly and easily at the beginning (the upgrade is divided into 2-3 stacks and can be completed with swordsmen), against the Orcs, Laslo is better due to his readiness (as mentioned above, and he can also quickly upgrade Cursed Lands) and because archers die quickly under the fury of the horde and centaurs.

By the way, considering that peasants are not taken into battle, archers can be divided into two stacks and used in the final battle, so that, for example, the Necromancer doesn't paralyze the entire squad at once.

Too much power loss... It's better to divide the griffons with a +2 bonus to all stats, so that berserkers can be used effectively against them...
Why griffons? The answer is simple, because they are large...
And even better would be paladins with a +1 bonus to all stats; they are already immune to berserkers... But then the question arises, where can you find so many units?
